If I asked "How can I become a civil engineer" you wouldn't answer with "A civil engineer designs bridges and buildings for non-military use". You'd say "First you get a degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited institution. Then you take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Assuming you pass the exam, you then work for a few years under a licensed civil engineer. For further questions you can contact the American Society of Civil Engineers."
My question is not what you think a software engineer does or knows, but whether anyone can point to an established process for becoming a software engineer similar to the one I listed for becoming a civil engineer. Dan On 9/9/06, Mister E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I agree. I used to refer to a software engineer as someone that programs at chip level and developer/programmer as one that used a higher level language. I don't know if that ancient definition still sticks or not though. Mister Ed
