The title says "Computer Science", then it for some reason assumes it is more about "Software Engineering".
To me the objective of a CS undergrad course is very simple. If the entire world lost all computers then you should be able to build one from scratch ( with the help of your electronics undergrad friend). In my undergrad CS course I learnt how to built a computer from basic logic gates, how to make it execute assembly like codes, how to design an operating system and other things like how to build the internet starting from some wires. The course is named "Computer Science and Engineering" for a reason.
