I have been at one university since 1995, and can answer for that one: no. My university has no
engineering department; in particular we have no undergraduate degree in software engineering.

I don't know how many of our faculty and researchers are active ACM members. I would imagine: not
many. I am not.

My experience of all this qualification and so forth is that everyone now thinks there is a lot of
white noise coming from many directions. The curriculum design issue is straightforward: you are in
a university; you have to figure out what is best for your students. We have a fair amount of what I
described, but we don't have a comparative programming languages course and we don't have a compiler
design course.

From what Bill Mostia described, the solution seems obvious. Everyone should get all their software
engineered in Texas.
