>but muh devices and materials No matter what you do, whether it’s CAD to cadence, you’re using computer tools. Software engineers make it their job to solve problems, and computer languages and math (for the real engineering applications) are largely their tools. I don’t care that they don’t have to suffer through the same fluids class you did - their work is more engineering than doing equation solvers in matlab
