They are two different disciplines. Engineering has been trying to coop Computer Science for ages. Often job titles for developers use the title Software Engineer but don't require an engineering degree.
I am not sure where this "fight" will go but I am not sure how they will gain more influence. Right now there are not enough people to fill the ICT jobs. The universities will not close down their Computer Science departments. A software engineering degree tends to focus more on planning and management than do pure CS degrees. Anyone else have thoughts on this ?
