>>If you plan on getting a job, that engineering degree is worthless when you’re at a whiteboard and the interviewer is asking some canonical CS question requiring implementation of a data structure that you don’t know the name of.

What software engineering program doesn't cover DS/A? Furthermore every answer to those cookie cutter whiteboard questions can be found in CTCI, leetcode, or any other DS/A textbook.

Lets not pretend that a CS degree is some magic pass to getting a job in the field.



Off-hand CMU/Waterloo are the only places I know that offer a SWE degree, and it's mostly distance professional graduates.


A good accredited CE curriculum will require all of the CS fundamentals.
