Too many uninformed people spreading misinformation. There's clear and measurable difference between a software engineering degree and the one you get from a boot camp. It's exactly as strict and rigorous as you'd expect from a degree in mechanical engineering. In Canada, you get an iron ring when you graduate and after about 4 years, you get a professional engineering license.

Sure, but unfortunately in America that distinction does not exist as there is no rigorous industry-wide standardization process.
