[quote=Anonymous]Typically it’s a Computer Science degree, but many have a math or electrical engineering degree, or maybe information systems or something related. Some have no degree.

Software engineer can be used to refer to a developer, who primarily writes code, or a programmer, who only writes code. The title is broad. Technically, software engineering refers to the design and development of software applications. The discipline involved the full lifecycle from concept to deployment and operations, maintenance, and decommissioning. It can involve requirements analysis and system documentation. Generally, requirements development and user documentation are well handled by business analysts, but I’ve done all of that as a Computer Scientist. You’ll get various responses. People sometimes have strong feelings about the terminology, but really…..it’s a person who develops software. Most people have some version of analyzing requirements and developing code during their workday. This also requires meetings to sync up on what is happening on the overall project but a lot of work is independent. People hate the documentation part but usually get roped into it. Sometimes they have to meet with Users or some other organization and typically a program manager or analyst will accompany them to help bridge the gap in communication.[/quote]
