Hillel Wayne wrote an excellent series of articles on whether software was "engineering" that included interviewing traditional engineers that were now in software [0]. I strongly recommend it.

For me, I sit next to EEs and MechEs all day working on safety critical systems. There are some differences in our jobs, but frankly I don't see the substantive differences that would make one or two of those non-engineering compared to the others.
