Difference between Engineer and Developer
-
While on a mailing list of Job openings in around my area, I noticed two Job openings for software development. One was titled "Software Developer" and "Software Engineer". For both the responsibly/Job description and requirement was same (Engineer needed English knowledge along with Engineering degree though). So what is the difference between too in a software Company.

I don't know about in a software company, but it is about £50 on car insurance.

I class myself as an Engineer as to quote some one 'Scientists look at the unknown, Engineers create the unknown' Wish I could remember the quote accurately...

In our state to be designated an Engineer means you have at least a bachelor's degree in an Engineering field of study. But a Software Developer is anyone who develops software --- it's more of a designation than anything. This article seems to support that idea too: What’s The Difference Between a Developer and an Engineer? - By[^] Edit Here's a very interesting article listing numerous titles that programmers often receive: https://medium.com/@isaaclyman/choosing-a-job-title-for-people-who-code-316a7673a83c[^]

One has a capital 'D', the other a capital 'E' in the title. :rolleyes: The difference says nothing meaningful about the type of work you'll be doing. For that you either need to read the rest of the job description or *gasp* actually communicate with the recruiter/hiring manager to get more information. :-\
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Yeah - not quite right. Scientist look for the unknown and discover or create it. Engineers optimize what the scientists find.

Possibly used an excuse to give two people doing the same thing different pay.

Up to now it was for me not more than the question what word to put on the business cards. I still wish I had gotten the cards with the title 'wizard'.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Depending on where you live, you can only be an engineer (by title) if you are registered as one. For example, in Québec I cannot be called a software engineer because I am not a registered engineer.
I'd rather be phishing!

Probably for the best. Given the frequency of news reports coming out of the province on crumbling infrastructure (bridges declared unsafe and needing emergency repairs, chunks of overpasses falling onto incoming traffic, heck, the Olympic stadium in Montreal), it seems that "engineer" in Quebec has become a dirty word.

You can save 15% or more by switching to Gieco.

One possible difference is : - Engineer can be either Developer or Tester. - Developer is Developer alone, and not into testing.

And I'm saying developers aren't really into testing at all (unless the testing is performed in production).
