This depends on the university. At UofT, for example, "software engineering" is actually taught outside of the engineering faculty, and is not CEAB approved... and therefore doesn't qualify.

Yes, at MST/UMR the Comp Sci degree isn't applicable to engineering. I don't recall if computer engineering is/was because it's taught by the EE staff and Comp Sci staff.

Even if you had an engineering degree you still didn't get the ring. I believe you had to go to some sort of ethics classes before we'd be given the opportunity to purchase the ring.

Actually, Computer Engineering is taught by the Engineering faculty at UofT.

Software Engineering is still a specialization under the Computer Science degree, and is taught by the Arts & Science faculty.

Sorry, I study at the UofA and we have a "software option" within the Computer Engineering program. Students graduating from this branch will get the iron ring. I just assumed that Software Engineers elsewhere got them too.

CS at UCLA gets them :)
