I do. Thats how i work. I feel like there are two tiers of software engineers: programmers and developers. Programmers implement spec sheets, while developers talk to stakeholders or even end users to understand what they need to build. I am the latter. I think good CS curricula should include product and project management and accounting basics. Otherwise software engineering is just conveyor belt work.
I respect that, but you still distilled an entire discipline to a couple semesters of course work. It is as absurd as an MBA saying they could be engineers because they took a few CS classes.
It is incredibly valuable to understand the big picture of the industry but it is not sufficient to distill an entire discipline to a few classes.
