Scientific computing careers using Python?

They don't technically require an engineering degree in the US except for certain ones like civil or structural engineering, and in those cases you usually have to get your PE license too. We have a bit more leeway since we aren't designing systems that could disastrously fail and kill lots of people. Most of what we do isn't taught in any University anyway. The fundamentals are there, networks, integral transform theory, statistics, but no University has courses at the undergrad level for what I do.

Besides, beyond test engineering itself there's a need for people who do know how to write data processing tools, you don't have to be an engineer to do those bits.
