software engineering

Boring, cubicle work which involves a lot of lines of code and countless hours of boring work. Requirements are a tie and mad computer skills. Best example of a software engineer: Peter from Office Space.

I am a software engineer at Microsoft.

software engineering

This is the term used when people wishes to make millions. This is mainley carried out by software engineers to increses there pay packets.

You have spent thousands on developing a talor made system for your company it gets implemented and then you hear:
"Oh! The software is incompatible with your system!" they say with a fake look of horror on there face's
"We will have to carry out some software engineering on the program."

Can you hear the till ringing?

Congratulations! you have fallen for the latest reincarnation of the oldest trick in the book. get as much money as you can out of the suckers!

Take my advice do not fall for it. ask for clarification and if you are in the UK threten them with the Trades Descriptions Act - goods supplied unfit for purposes they were intended.

engineering

A field of study offered by college universities that focuses on math and applied sciences. Students who decide to major in engineering are usually obese and socially awkward individuals (think Yu-gi-oh card players and band geeks) going into the major with the false hope that the big pay check later will make everything better. They sacrifice all good aspects of life (healthy eating habits, developing good social skills, having a open mind, and sex) in order to study arbitrary things such as multivariable calculus and thermodynamics. In their quest to become soulless number crunching zombies they begin to bash on other majors constantly complaining on how hard and important their major is and anything that's not engineering is irrelevant. In reality they are short changing themselves from developing important social networking skills (which is essential in the job market) and obtaining a well rounded education. When the time does come they will most likely screw up on the interview to get the big job (due to their social awkwardness) and end up teaching at a community college as a second rate professor.

Humanities/Business major: Hey loser!
Engineering student (in his head): I'll show you. What I'm studying is important and it's going to get me that big pay check. Then all the ladies will come to me.

10 years later.....
Humanities/Business major (now a CEO): Hey loser!
Engineering student (in his head): Doh! Well at least I have my health..... wait no I don't.
