Hi,

I want to know what actually is the difference between Job duties of Computer System Analyst and Software Engineer which falls in category "Engineer".

- As per NAFTA job duties of Computer System Analyst are defined in OOH hand book and CSA cannot program/write code and has Degree or diploma and 3 years experience

- As per NAFTA Software Engineer is a person who falls under category Engineer and has Engineering degree.

Can a Software Engineer code? Is it ok to write in TN job letter that Software engineer will develop applications?

Please provide some insight into the difference between job duties. Responses are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
 
The differnce, I guess, is that a software engineer can do anything engineering and had an engineering degree, as you said. A CSA would noit have an engineeering degree, and would be limited in what they do, although there area of work would be more wide ranging (not limited to engineering) like financial, etc

Thanks for the reply nelsona!

As per definition of Software Engineer online :-

"Computer software engineers are responsible for the design, development, testing and deployment of the computer software used in businesses and homes every day"

So is it OK to write in TN letter that Software Engineer can program/write code? Because NAFTA just says engineer and does not mention anything about programming.
 
I don't see the problem. It doesn't say anything close to being a programmer ,and even if it did -- you're an engineer! If you make copies, it doesn't cahnge the fact that you are not a clerk, but an Engineer.

Look up programmer in the OOH. Doers that look like the job you are going to do? No.
