Poor Wording

From the status of software engineering section: The word engineering within the term software engineering causes a lot of confusion because it is a shallow analogy. 'a lot' of confusion, 'shallow' analogy. The wording is poor, and it is not neutral to call it a shall analogy. 64.228.157.75 (talk) 11:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Redirect

This article should probably just redirect to software engineering. Paladinwannabe2 (talk) 04:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

A restart with a collection of text from other wikipedia articles

I restarted this article with a collection of text from other wikipedia articles which all focuss on the profession of the software engineer. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 20:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

At the moment there are 303 Wikipedia article, who link to this article. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 20:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Introduction Part

I think introduction part should be rewritten. For example "These people work long hours and may be asked to work overtime." is not a nice "wiki-style" introduction sentence. Two suggestions:

  • It is possible to reduce this introduction part to a single sentence.
  • It is possible to extend this introduction part over the first sentence.

From "Education" section

The following commented-out content was removed from the "Education" section: --Cybercobra (talk) 08:15, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

This is really too much, too detailed, to contemporary data. It is beginning to look like like spam:

... in engineering faculties such as McMaster University, the University of Waterloo, the University of Ottawa and the University of Western Ontario, the University of Calgary, the University of Victoria, École Polytechnique de Montréal, McGill University the ETS in Montréal and the Université Laval in 2006.[1][2][3][4][5]

Links 10 and 36 are bad. Do we have any evidence to back up this claim? "Some of the United States of America regulate the use of terms such as "computer engineer" and even "software engineer". These states include at least Texas[36] and Florida.[10] Texas even goes so far as to ban anyone from writing any real-time code without an engineering license." --Pandnp (talk) 20:52, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
