WTF if financial engineering??? Not to be an elitist engineer, but the term "financial engineer" is misleading and would probably be illegal in Canada. I mean, I can definitely see where finances fit in with engineering and they are super important to engineering projects, but the traditionalist in me says that financial engineering is not engineering at all. I'm semi-serious about this.

if software engineering is engineering, financial engineering is too. but you have a point.

i don't believe there are any "financial engineering" programs in canada, and that might well be why. (though u of t's "mathematical finance" program is considered one of the best)
