I would agree for different reasons. Software Eng. takes on a different meaning in the industry... unfortunately for some reason, because it seems to be somewhat different in other engineering fields. I think most companies hiring SEs really mean Product Engineers, or even Business Engineers (which I haven't heard but that title would make more sense). Therefore Comp Sci does not focus on any of the business aspects that are needed and expected for a career in most software companies.
There are two potential solutions, either Comp. Sci. starts teaching more of the business side, or create a new track for students that is called something like Software Product Engineering. That way CS students would continue on towards research in academia and other highly specialized roles, while the masses are trained on the relevant techcnical parts plus all the knowledge that is expected to create profit from software.
