Should I do a study abroad program even if it doesn't really relate to my major?

I'm a community college student who is a trying to transfer to a University to major in Software Engineering. Right now I've been actually considering doing a 1-month study abroad program for this upcoming Summer. Over in my community college, there are 5 countries that I can pick to travel for study. The two countries that I'm interested in traveling are England and Ireland but I'm no so sure since most of the classes that they have don't quite relate to the field that I'm trying to major. However, I have been told that having a Study abroad experience does make myself look more marketable to employers when I find a job after coming back to the United States.

Studying abroad is always a good experience. It will expand your resources, connections and cultural knowledge. It does make you more marketable. Also, you can take elective classes while your there to fulfill other requirements that the university may or may not have.

Summer programs are usually cultural & language programs. You will not be attending ordinary university classes in major field of study when you are only going for a month.
