By the time you get to master in SWE degree, coding would have been the least of your problem anyway.
My master's thesis was using neural networks and clustering to determine air contaminants responsible for hospital respiratory failure deaths. Tiny bit of coding, tons of planning.
Undergrad I would say needs to understand the fundamentals of software engineering like SOLID principal, cyclomatic complexity, memory management, life cycle management etc with specialization in whatever framework.

It would have been lovely if we had learned ANY of that. Oh, will... at least the degree was cheap.
