But why would a person need formal accreditation of they felt that they did possess the required background (assuming it was legal, which it is in Australia and the US). You are trying to impose the standards of the people who granted you that degree, on everyone else. But it's not justified. To an employer, your accreditation counts for almost nothing when comparing otherwise similar degrees (e.g. a CS degree). And you don't need to take a course in ethics to understand ethical issues or act ethically.

You obviously have no understanding of the different between a CS degree and a Software Engineering Degreee. For starters, mine was a full year longer than regular CS. I did engineering Math the entire time with the other Engineers, and I did courses like digital electric design and digital signal image processing that the CS'ers didn't.
You obviously have no understanding that the world is much bigger than the context where you are comparing a particular Software Engineering degree with other CS degrees. When compared across the whole world, CS and Software Engineering are basically synonyms. If anything Software Engineering is less technical.
And you also haven't explained why a slightly greater focus on traditional engineering/math is relevant to employers.
