The label doesn't matter, it's the content of the education. A degree in software development is the same whether its called development or engineering. Even if a job requires a degree in software engineering, and you march in there with your degree in software development, it wont matter to your prospective employer. They know it is the same thing.
Reply:I tend to think of software development as developing code from spec and software engineering as developing the spec and the code. The subtle difference is between build and design. But that's just my opinion. Here is a more definitive source: http://www.bls.gov/oco/
