Comment Programmers are Computer Scientists (Score 1) 1002
Lets look at the obvious determining factor:
Programmers at a four-year degree universities graduate as Computer Scientists, in a department not usually included in any schools department of Engineering.
A computer engineer is a different beast altogether. While they might handle programming their main area of expertise is in designing electronic hardware such as computers or computer components.
Another good way to tell, an engineer can do circles around any programmer when it comes to Math... If you didn't take up to diff eq. and discrete math, you're not an engineer baby!
