I have a B.Sc. in Software Engineering and had my P. Eng. until I realized it's all a scam perpetuated by P. Eng. holders trying to hire/promote people who remind them of themselves.

APEGA can go pound sand. Software Engineering is definitely a form of engineering, and most of the best and brightest don't have engineering degrees, rather Computer Science, Math, Physics, and many others.

I'd argue most APEGA members are subject to almost zero scrutiny in their professions, and the amount that are stamping anything meaningful are a small minority.
