I'm doing this paper for school about mechanical and software engineering. I've chosen to write about whether mechanical engineering will be as vital to new technologies as software engineering. I've chosen to write about this because I have noticed that software engineering has become extremely important to new technologies. For example, the Segway wouldn't be nothing without the programming involved in it and neither would the missile systems the military has with all the programming involved in its guidance system and whatnot. So I'm basically doing a survey here and I need at least 15 replys, so if you can, please reply to this, it will be much help to me. I just want to know what your thoughts are on this. Also include if you're a student or engineer, and if you're in an engineer, what type. Thanks in advance.
