At the heart of this difference seems to be the way software engineering is typically introduced to students: general theory is presented in a series of lectures and put into (limited) practice in an associated class project.
[6] After the crash of the dot-com bubble (1999–2001) and the Great Recession (2008), many U.S. software professions were left without work or with lower wages.
[7] In addition, enrollment in computer-related degrees and other STEM degrees (STEM attrition)[8][9] in the US has been dropping for years, especially for women,[10] which, according to Beaubouef and Mason[11] could be attributed to a lack of general interest in science and mathematics and also out of an apparent fear that software will be subject to the same pressures as manufacturing and agriculture careers.
In Bangladesh, this degree is named Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering (BS SE) which is also an 8-semester course of study.
[15] The Bachelor of Software Engineering degree is awarded to those who successfully complete an eight-semester program.
