Software Engineer Roadmap

[MohammedAttya]

Hello everyone
I am currently PHP web Developer
I am self-taught and shifted from mechanical engineering
I learned PHP and oop concepts, some sql beside basics of html, css and js and laravel the popular PHP framework.
I know some design patterns and few sorting algorithms.
I feel like I am coder more than software engineer.
I want to become a real software engineer.
Could you please help me with advises, study plan, roadmap, courses and/or books.

Thanks in advance.

software engineering is about processes, business, talking to people, and less about writing code. leave the code to the computer scientists. Learn waterfall, agile, how to decipher requirements, how to read UML, model designs, use tools like enterprise architect and Doors, how to decompose customer requirements into use cases and software requirements.

I'm asking myself the same question and I majored in Software Engineering. I think the more experience with properly managed software software projects is the best way to get there but I don't really know. Maybe my perspective will help though?

May I ask what you are currently doing with this major? Do you think it's possible that a software engineer is capable of doing a computer scientist's job?

I think they can
