I believe that if an Electrical Engineer has qualification as a programmer then the two fields become the higher discipline “Computer Engineer.” At least most universities arrange their classifications as such.
I’m in engineering school and the ethos definitely is “engineers write bad code but it’s for simple tasks involving complex math.” As the world of engineering steers more and more towards coding we’re definitely going to be expected to write applications instead of simple Matlab scripts and there’s no way it’s going to be pleasant.
I think they’re outnumbered by desk jockeys without a math degree.
I mean these days the average EE is a software engineer who is good at math and bad at software.
