first appeared in the 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference, and was meant to provoke thought regarding the perceived " software crisis " at the time. Since the field is still relatively young compared to its sister fields of engineering, there is still much debate around what software engineering actually is, and if it conforms to the classical definition of engineering.

My mentors in engineering management used to define their job as managing people, process, and technology.

The people are the important part of the equation, and the process is there to help make them better as a group . How you set up process directly impacts productivity, arranges priority, and creates or reduces friction. Subtle adjustments to process are needed to ...

think of these as milestones. Good cooks are always aware of "the
long pole in the tent"; the task or dependency that controls when they
will be able to produce the final product. As a manager, when someone
asks you ...

You can take courses and/or online study to attain professional certifications in many areas of networking. For example, CISCO Corporation offers many certifications (CCIE, CCNA) as network administrator, engineer and instructor.
