re honors degrees do they mean anything justin kibell jck catt citri edu au wrote what has this got to do with comp windows x i agree that this is a side track but it is funny that i skip so many other articles threads but i couldn t resist reading this one my beliefs opinions and expressions are strictly my own and do not represent or reflect any official or unofficial policies or attitudes of any other person or organization but i have heard that ford motor company has had a recruiting bias toward engineers and away from computer science graduates the reasoning is supposedly to better meet long range personnel requirements this is evidenced by the large number of cs people who are employed via contracts and are not brought on board except in special circumstances this is a generalization which obviously doesn t always hold true but there are statistics furthermore most software engineering at ford gets done by electrical engineers i know of univerities that have merged the computer science department and the electrical engineering so that you can get a computer degree which qualifies you for much more than programming but since my beliefs and opinions are merely figments of my distorted imagination i suppose i should keep it to myself
