I remember software engineering courses to be about the process, the metrics available, the way to mesure and quantify whatever is going on in a project.
As opposed to learn about a type of algorithms, some math, some language or some pattern.
10 years latter, I’m glad for the exposure.
It was more useful to understand and talk to folks on the sides of the dev department : security, ops, qa, support. Heck, even product.
I felt that with those, the dev could monkey patch whatever together and still be part of some engineering process.

Now I don’t know. I sure do push code around.
