Are we *really* engineers?

SCHEDULE:

12:35 - 1:30: Presentation
1:30: Questions/Networking

ABOUT THE TALK:

What makes software engineering different from “traditional” engineering? To find out, I interviewed 17 “crossovers”: people who have worked professionally as both a software and a traditional engineer. In aggregate, we learn three things: we are in fact engineers, we’re not actually that different as a field, and there’s a lot we can both teach and learn.

SPEAKER:

Hillel Wayne is a formal verification consultant and the author of Practical TLA+. In his free time, he juggles and makes chocolate. He’s legally allowed to deliver babies in Illinois.
