I have to agree strongly with this. It's like a professional trainer calling themselves a professor just because they teach. You are an engineer if your diploma says so. It is an earned title, not a job description. I say this as a CS dropout that never calls myself an engineer.
- USNetizen 13y agoEngineering is about process, not about degrees. My CS degree did not at ALL prepare me to be a software engineer. It taught be to be a programmer. Engineering is more about the process than the technology. CS teaches theory and technology.
- SethMurphy 13y ago100% agrees, I didn't say I didn't do engineering, I just don't call myself an engineer. Ironically, I do call myself a programmer though, and I don't need a degree to do that. The state of CS degrees is a whole other topic, which from the sound of it we agree upon so far. Maybe I just can't call myself a scientist ;)
