Mixed feelings because obviously studying for a degree implies maths and sciences which does qualify you as an engineer, but imo "software engineer" isn't a real thing. You're either a computer engineer or a code monkey.
I'm assuming you've never experienced the world of safety critical software development like the medical and aerospace industries.
An engineer can code but a programmer is not an engineer. I have actually, btw, though not as a programmer but closely with them.
This is very much a US specific thing
