My degree dedicated an absurd amount of time to software engineering. And I graduated a while ago. Two of those courses required completed projects in groups, with documentation, a project management plan, VCS, deployment, testing, and a presentation at the end. Plus, we had a capstone engineering project which was essentially all of this, but solo. My personal option was they were wasted courses. The learning was in the coding, not project management and documentation.
