Neither of those are a pure Computer Science course, they are “and engineering” or “and informatics”. There are similar courses in the US that teach computer science alongside more practical skills.

It’s ultimately a matter of the focus of the major and department.

Yeah that is the thing, there is no pure Computer Science without coding, unless one goes to applied maths (at least in Portugal).
