I’d not heard this term “Internet engineer” before this. I did find a definition of the term, but it doesn’t really match what’s being described below. The job definition I found talks about using websites for transactions. This is about understanding the Internet well enough that one can change the information flow on it. I have found that there are schools that offer a degree in “Internet engineering.” Is this a new kind of career for which we need to prepare students in Computing?
