Be careful about applying your specific experience (from your country) to slander entire groups of people.
For one thing, engineer is not a protected term in the US. It's not at all like the fraud which would be committed by a nurse calling himself a surgeon.
More importantly, the majority of excellent US universities don't even have a "software engineering" degree. Almost universally, the good developers I see coming out of top universities majored in "computer science."
Anecdotally, most people with "software engineering" degrees come from shitty vocational programs.
We'd all be better off if we stopped fussing over titles and realized that the only reasonable way to evaluate someone is to look at their actual experience/education.
- dylandempsey 12y agoThanks, yes it seems to be very different. It takes longer to get a SE degree in Canada so a clear distinction is made. By no means would I even say that it's necessarily better as I've hired and worked with some amazing developers with no post secondary education at all, so good people are good people. But it is a longer degree with quite a few more courses and a clear distinction is made if you decide to pursue it here. Cheers.
