What exactly is the definition of a "software engineer?". Many companies like Google and Microsoft/Bungie call their programmers software engineers. On the top of their list of requirements are a degree in Computer Science, not Computer Engineering.
Basically, if I want the job title of software engineer, should I pursue CS with lots of math/programming or CpE with as much programming as I can? I'm way more into software, programming, math, etc. and how I can stress a computer system to its max. Basically, I'd like to develop applications but with job security. But I don't exactly think knowledge of how the actual hardware works is necessary. Thoughts?

Software Engineering is still less about Engineering and more about Art. We're really Software Craftsmen.

Software so called "engineering" has a lot in common with magic. We really conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells.

Who cares what your job title is? "Software engineer" is just an ENTERPRISE way of saying "programmer" anyway.

as far as i can tell software engineering is programming where you are held accountable by non-programmers.
Less depending on your Java implementation with TraceMonkey case 0 printf JAVA break?

This is just a test asshats. Mind your fucking business or else I'll kill you.
Test #1:
int a;
void func(){
a++;
}
int func2()
{
int a++;
}
Test #2:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
ofstream myfile;
myfile.open ("example.txt",ios::binary);
myfile << "1).Writing this to a file.\n";
myfile << "2).Writing this to a file.\n";
myfile << "3).Writing this to a file.\n";
myfile << "\n" << "5).Writing this to a file.\n";
myfile.close();
return 0;
}

Test #3:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
ofstream myfile;
myfile.open ("example.txt",ios::binary);
myfile << "1).Writing this to a file.\n";
myfile << "2).Writing this to a file.\n";
myfile << "3).Writing this to a file.\n";
myfile << "\n" << "5).Writing this to a file.\n";
myfile.close();
return 0;
}
