C)

• Medical device software• Telephony• Telemetry

Both software engineers and traditional engineers write software control systems for embedded products.

In Engineering • All traditional engineering branches use software

extensively. Engineers use spreadsheets, more than they ever used calculators. Engineers use custom software tools to design, analyze, and simulate their own projects, like bridges and power lines. These projects resemble software in many respects, because the work exists as electronic documents and goes through analysis, design, implementation, and testing phases. Software tools for engineers use the tenets of computer science; as well as the tenets of calculus, physics, and chemistry.
