Software engineering was a valid term last time I looked.
I usually work in the "engineering" sector (as opposed to finance or health or whatever else has software these days).
So yes... I am in engineering.

The sector itself is broadly immaterial when it comes to contractor pay.
Not only that, but within the context of the thread it's clear nobody was talking about software engineering, so your deliberately vague input is next to useless.Comment

Originally posted by vwdan View PostSoftware engineer is certainly a valid term, and there's nothing wrong with calling oneself an engineer in context. However, colloquially, to say one works in "engineering" strongly implies something more akin to mechanical engineering - the kind of role that may have a protected title elsewhere.

Originally posted by wantacontract View PostI quite agree....
My Software Engineering degrees are BSc & MSc and specifically not BEng & MEng. Very little of what we do in the field would be construed as being of a set of professional standards such as that required to build a bridge.
If our industry built them, they'd be falling down on a weekly basis.Comment
