My view is that cs, like electricians, plumbers, masonry workers is a trade. To be good at cs is to Love
My definition of a cs engineer is one that can create digital/analogue hardware and integrate the two. Today we manage computer systems Some of us are on Networking and security, some of us on the database arena. And others who perform system administration. I consider myself a CS plumber because I dont use my advanced math skills or my software design knowledge and hardware design skills together. A CS engineer invents new products or applies algorithms to solve "complex" problems. He should be able to take a concept and arrive at a design. He should then be able to manage it's creation (project manage the project).
