Software engineers borrow many metaphors and techniques from traditional engineering disciplines: requirements analysis, quality control, and project management techniques.
Few software engineers manage anyone, so they are not viewed as managers, except by themselves.
In contrast to this, other engineering sub-fields like Embedded systems are unique in that they are designed by other engineers, who can sometimes define interfaces completely.
