  I go to my advisor all the time, but people with MD's and DDS's (etc)
often don't consider them to be doctors.  I really think that this is
unfair, besides, what is to differentiate between an engineering and
non-engineering degree?  (I now work in the Software Engineering Research
Center, but don't really consider myself an engineer (a researcher is more
appropriate).)  My degree (if I manage to get it) will read Ph.D. in
Information and Computer Science.  (Does that mean that I can't use the
titles of Software Engineer and Doctor?)  Just a thought...
