It's funny how licensing bodies do not recognise computer engineers. I
am a member if the IEEE, but since I first wrote to the local body in
1974 they have never recognised computer engineering as a discipline.
After twenty years of chip-level troubleshooting on DEC machines I spent
twenty twenty-five years teaching college before retiring to my
soon-to-be-restored collection of old kit.
I ran into the then President of the provincial licensing association at
an alumni event a few years ago and he laughed, saying they are still
working on it!
Meanwhile, computers run everything...
cheers,
Nigel Johnson

What term is used there for an engineer
who works in fields of general electronics?
An electronics engineer...
This war was settled in 1963 when the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers merged with the Institute of Radio Engineers, realizing
their battle was just silly and counterproductive.
It was time, as serious electronics was moving into telecommunications
and computers, numerically controlled machine tools, aviation, and
more. If they had a separate institute for each area of
specialization, it would just dilute the resources. Every one of them
used Ohms law and its derivatives.
