IMO - An engineer is someone who designs systems to satisfy a set of
design criteria each with varying degrees of importance.  A developer is
just someone in general who writes software that actually gets used by a
user or end user as opposed to a tester, QA, or even V&V (verification &
validation).  Software engineer is usually someone who takes direction
from a technical or project lead (someone who has technical stuff to do
him or herself), a project director (a manager who does not necessarily
do or even know how to do technical stuff).  In the game industry
project directors are called producers just like in the movie industry.
 A project lead is usually Senior Software Engineer (for smaller groups)
or Senior Principle Engineer (for larger groups with more than just two
levels of hierarchy).  CIO is just one person in a larger company.

Agree or disagree?
