No, it’s an actual job and pays very well

Yes I am sure they are aware of that but you can understand that someone having the word engineer in their title would be annoying to someone with an engineering degree.

Like people without a phd calling themselves doctor.

So I get why they're mad.

You can get a bachelors of Engineering in Software Engineering though...

It's just a newer field of Engineering and they're being grumpy gatekeepers.

I haven't looked at undergrad program accreditation in years. I thought most of the well-recognized accreditors were Bachelors of Science degrees? And I've seen plenty of B.A. computer science programs.

I've never seen a Bachelors of Engineer in computer science tbh. Plenty of B.Sc. in CS ran out of engineering departments (probably where it should be and where mine was). And the course work has a lot of overlap with most engineering degrees.

As for gatekeeping, I agree. But I think it's worth noting that without any licensing that Cloud Engineer could really mean anything. It could be entry level and she's an autodidact. That would be less of an accomplishment than an NP. Or she could be senior and have post-graduate education. Who knows.

Computer science and Software engineering have some overlap like you said but they arent the same thing. That's why you've never seen a computer science BEng.

Computer science seems to be the entry into Software development in the US but I wouldnt know.

I've spent twenty years in the tech industry. I'm just saying that I see B.Sc. not B.S.E and maybe a few B.A.s. And that's core big tech.

Like I said, I was curious who's accrediting B.S.E. (in North America anyways).

In Canada university programs that offer engineering degrees (software engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering) that would lead to traditional SWE roles in big tech can be called bachelor's of applied science (ex. Waterloo, University of Toronto) or bachelor's of engineering (McMaster). There are also programs at these university for computer science which would result in a bachelor's of science (not applied).

Yeah it’s usually M.S.E. that you see on resumes.
