Software engineering

A person who is rejected by the Engineering community, due to a dispute over whether software engineering is really engineering, despite the fact that software engineers don't purely write code and actually are taught other aspects of engineering.



software engineer
One who both designs and codes commercial computer programs. It combines the specialties of system analyst and programmer. The term is denigrated by "professional" engineers because there are no licensing or standards boards. Anyone can call himself a Software Engineer.
Example:
Our software development project went very smoothly because the software engineers were fully involved from the initial specifications through product completion and testing.


software engineer
Software Engineer is a professional that uses Software Engineering and all of its engineering principals during all phases of software development. Too bad this was only achieved once in all of recorded history.
Example:
That hacker called himself a software enginer.
That coder thinks she is a software engineer.
Those programmer wishes they were software engineers.
I am the only software engineer I know that is why we don't have a union.


software engineering
Software engineering is the application of science
to consistently produce software based systems
that are acceptable against the needed criteria
(reliability, maintainability, security, safety,
efficiency, usability) in a cost effective way.
Example:
I am a software engineer.


software engineering
A self grandiose term to describe an industry which actually has no engineering foundations. Often filled with examples of Dunning Kruger, Conway's Law, Narcissism and Elitism.
Example:
Software engineers rule the world through software engineering.


Software Engineer
Someone with big brains and who works his freaking tail off and is going to be (or has already been) laid off, just to be replaced by some low-life and low-wage counterpart in india, so greedy corporations can increase their margins and offer a crapper service.
Example:
IBM announces it creates 1,500 new Software Engineering jobs (but they don't disclose it's in freaking india or china).


software engineer
A career option that seems like the road to riches until graduation, when realise that the job market has been supersaturated with fellow geeks for the past five years.

Also: for the above reason, a slang term for a male 20something worker in a fast food restaurant.
Example:
"Of course, with a masters degree in software engineering, it was either flipping burgers or the dole queue again on Monday morning."


software engineer
Euphemism for unemployed. It's a useful title to give women in clubs instead of admitting that you spend all day playing Xbox games. Many people think software engineers make a lot of money.
Example:
"Hi, can I buy you a drink?"
"Sure, what's your name and what do you do?"
"I'm George, I'm a software engineer."
"Oh, really!"
