- I always liked the term "computer scientist" over the term "software
- engineer". If people get computer science degrees (what I received),
- why not call those people computer scientists? Perhaps when colleges
- have software engineering degrees (and probably some colleges already
- have this) a person who earns this degree may be rightfully called
- a software engineer.
-
- In the 3 companies for which I've worked, my titles thus far have been:
-
- 1) Software Design Engineer
- 2) Software Engineer/Member of Technical Staff (I always thought MTS was
- a nice term)
- 3) Senior Engineer
-
- My two cents...
