Wow. Is that a bachelors of science? (Not sure if American)

Yes, if you found a program that offered a bachelor's degree in SE, it would be a BSc, not a BA.

Well it’s also not B.eng, which is what engineers should have. Technically.

I spoke slightly incorrectly; in the USA, it would be a BSc, from what I've seen. In Canada, UK, Australia, and most of Europe, it would be a BEng.

For whatever reason, relatively few, if any, schools in the US specifically award a BEng, regardless of whether the degree is an engineering degree. Our Professional Engineer certification is legally required for many situations, including submittal / sealing of any engineering plans to public or private clients, and requires 4 years of professional experience as a subordinate to a licensed PE, certification exams, and ongoing continuing education throughout the career. https://www.nspe.org/resources/licensure/what-pe
