   My degree is Software Engineering, and is fully accredited by the Australian Institute of Engineers.

   It was two years longer than computer science, and all of those extra courses were with the “mainstream” Engineers.

      Can you elaborate on the extra courses? What are America's developers missing (I imagine ethics is glaringly missed)?

         You imagine wrong. Everyone I know with a software-engineering-type degree took a mandatory ethics course.

            This is right. Not only are ethics courses required for accreditation, but ethics is built into a number of other courses. It was primarily the design courses, but there was usually at least a module on some kind of ethical failure in whatever system the course was covering, like embedded, enterprise, or whatever.
