Question for you then: Can you work under someone who's a P.Eng mechanical or civil engineer, and then get your own P.Eng license that way (as a software engineer)?
IIRC there's no limitations on who you work under provided they are licensed; P.Eng license is a not tied to any specific discipline. If I complete my engineer-in-training (4 years professional industry experience under the supervision of one (or more P.Engs)) and pass the exam component, then I will also be licensed as a P.Eng. I may choose to work as a software engineer, or any other role, but being a P.Eng means that I uphold the standards, ethics, and discipline of the engineer title.
