BTW while we're trying to climb out of the middle ages, computer engineering == building hardware, software engineering == building software.

Computer engineering is both hardware and software. Software engineering is only software. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_engineering

I'd still argue it's not an article about 'computer engineering'. All the references I saw were to software engineers or computer scientists.

In my mind, Electrical Engineering is closer to hardware engineering. I went through Comp Eng, and did many a hardware design internship, but I am quite a low-level fellow. Many of my colleagues were EE, not CE.

i think there's also a distinction between software engineering and programming lurking somewhere in the background.
