Most employers don’t know the difference (especially since MSE is not a commonly awarded degree nationwide). They don’t give the same degree (I think) because it ISN’T the same degree. I am not sorry I entered the program - it was my best option at the time - but I have met people who have gotten far more out of “lesser” research-based programs. The vast majority of part-time masters programs are really only good for checking off that box on your credentials and adding some academic content to supplement on-the-job training.
