Ha.. I can’t people get pissed over how the term engineer is used, the fact it there are several types of engineering. Technologist? Please..
In the higher levels of IT you have to know a lot about how things collaborate, hardware proficiencies, how software interacts with that hardware, how software interacts with each other. How machines/services interact with each other, data transfer methods etc. We also use tools, yes, not physical scopes and meters, but with other types of performance and data gathering tools.
Instead of engineering a chip or some other type of physical device we engineer full computing infrastructures. There isn’t a standard layout, this has to be dissected, planned, researched.
Technologist is someone that plays with computers, reads computer theory, and knows how to fix a printer.
I have never even met anyone with a degree from ITT. You guys have your underwear on WAY too tight
