It's possible to learn how to do some limited engineering while working towards a comp sci degree but it doesn't magically turn every task you perform into engineering. Programming isn't engineering.

    So engineering is not what you said you believe it is, you actually believe it's what you said it is except software engineers because you're a condescending gatekeeper. Software engineering is different from programming.

    What is it that you think I said it was? Because I pretty clearly outlined how memorizing syntax, calling functions, and gradeschool algebra are not engineering.

    Oh damn, all those math credits I needed to graduate were for nothing?
