I’m thinking about going to Oregon Institute of Technology next year, and noticed that they offer a "software engineering technology" degree instead of a regular software engineering degree. Does anybody know the difference??? No guesses please!!! 
Oregon Institute of Technology’s Software Engineering Technology is very unusual, and deserves more attention from students. Essentially, they’ve stripped out much of the heavy math and obscure computing theory, and replaced it with more practical programming courses.
Strongly recommended.
Incidentally, graduates of OIT’s Software Engineering Technology degree are eligible for NICET Certification as (CET) Certified Engineering Technologists.
OIT’s Klamath Falls campus is a bit isolated, but on the AMTRAK Coast Starlight line.
A possible alternate to OIT’s degree is San Jose State’s degree in Computer Electronics and Network Technology, which is obviously somewhat more hardware oriented.

As the other answerer said, SET this is a very practical job-oriented degree being offered by some Univs. It mainly focuses on programming languages and day-to-day computing applications. Software Engineering is mainly concerned with the development and maintenance of software along with major areas of computer sciences such as analysis of algorithms, math, etc.
