A CS degree when I got mine (41 years ago) was half and half though it wasn't called software engineering. Back then the "engineering stuff" was practical: things like programming, calculating latencies of disk drives and stuff like that. But the other half really needed a grounding in pure maths. (I'm British). I used to look at Computer Science journals and it was all pure maths stuff.
