TRIVIA: back in the 70's and 80's Texas state law prevented someone using the title of "Engineer" unless they were licensed by the state. So, our IBM SE's had the title of "Systems Representative" on their business cards.

(SE's) They even had a program to develop programmers called the SED program. (also had a OPD program - Operations Personnel Development) Needless to say, when I hear the term Systems Engineers I think of programmers not Systems Programmers.
