The alternative is to go to Canada. Universities in Canada (and Texas
if I remember) offer a Software Engineering program that is pretty
unique. If your state sees it this way, with a Software Engineering
B.Eng, you are able to certify softwares like a civil engineer would
certify Buildings and Bridges.

Also Engineering, as opposed to comp sci, will give you a background in
many other fields(such as Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Modern Physics).

But this is only if your state (i assume you are from the US) sees that
software engineers can become engineers.

I'me at a good program here in software engineering. Top 50 in north
america. Try http://www.lakeheadu.ca/~engwww/soft ...

The way i see it, if the softawre you work on is being outsourced to
india then it's not critical enough (Because companies like to have
legal repercussions if something goes wrong, and international lawsuits
are almost impossible to prosecute). Meaning that maby an engineering
degree is for you (especially if you want to live in texas or canada).
