Following the same logic, I had a Computer Science curriculum and took some
electronics courses. Does this mean that I should do some electrical
engineering?
My experience has been (others may have different experiences) that people
with an EE background in Software, have programming skills, but little
knowledge of Software Engineering. It is true that if you follow engineering
principles and apply them to software, you will succeed. But I have seldom
seen this from EE's.
