In the real world, though, 95% of those with CS degrees are going to work as software engineers, not as computer scientists. So what we really need is software engineering programs, and far fewer people in CS programs.

We need, essentially, the divide between chemistry degrees and chemical engineering degrees. That hasn't happened yet for CS, but it needs to.

And that's what the OP is asking for - people who have software engineering knowledge, not CS knowledge.

Not quite the same as what you suggest, but I did a BS in Computer Engineering, and really enjoyed it compared to CS or EE. There were some software engineering and practical programming courses, but also included hardware design.

Though I struggle with leet code quizzes so there's that..
