Unlike electrical engineers, not all software developers have degrees in CS. More than half of the best programmers I know don't have formal education in CS, so it would be a foolish hiring practice to rely on institutional credentials.

It has probably changed a little, and varies between schools and educational systems in different countries, but back in my days, some things I learned in university was pure anti-pattern.

Especially the "coder culture" which was obviously not part of the curriculum, but not negligible.

As there seems to be no end of the stream of jerks and increased misogyny, I doubt that it's gotten that much better though.

Edit: I also did a couple of courses that were eye-openers, including a introductory course based on the wizard book (SICP), but it probably was an eye-opener only to the few hobbyist with some previous experience.
