Software engineers design and build software operating systems, middleware, business applications, computer applications, games and network control systems.
One of the biggest points of contention in the career field is the definition of a software developer to that of an engineer. While developers often hold the same responsibilities and skills to build software, not all are certified engineers. The easiest way to differentiate between an engineer and a developer is the additional academic training and professional discipline required for an engineer.
Based on skill level, engineers areas of proficiency range from design, construction, testing, debugging and configuration management and are employed in all business types be it commercial, nonprofit or government agencies.
