I didn't actually intend for my response to sound snarky, even though as I read it now, it probably does. I think CS degrees should teach understanding (not practice) that will be useful to you for at least, say, the next 50 years if you are a computer scientist. Trendy tools and languages we can learn ourselves. What might be useful in a Software Engineering degree IMO is learning to do the thing yourself (e.g. creating a chroot jail for an app you developed the previous semester), together with a short tour of tools that already do that (Docker or whatever is popular at the time can make a good case study.) However, for a CS degree where you have only 1-2 SE-related subjects, I believe such a thing would just get in the way.
