If you do CSE all you need is ABET accreditation, really, no matter what you perceive as better or worse.

Actually, CS is not a field where ABET accreditation is considered that important (except perhaps if taking the patent exam is a future direction), although ABET accreditation for CS does set a minimum standard (one may have to look more carefully at the offerings in a non-ABET-accredited CS major, though). Some top-end CS majors (e.g. Stanford, CMU, Berkeley L&S CS) are not ABET accredited (though MIT and Berkeley EECS are), probably mainly because the ABET accreditation requirements for CS do require some non-CS science.
