"Intro to Finite Theory Automata" or "Intro to Compilers" (which is the practical version of automata) would be on my list. Of course, I am a compiler-guy, but they have been incredibly useful for understanding many problems and solutions not directly related to compilers.

I loved CS181 ("Intro to Finite Theory Automata"). I don't remember using much from what I learned there in the last 5 years as a SWE but wow that was a fun class!
