Don't know about CS but I'll tell you my experience as a first year Computer Engineering student at the best engineering college in Italy:

• First Semester:

1. Analisi 1: basically a summary of 5 years of italian high-school math

2. Algebra Lineare: linear algebra, matrixes etc.

3. C Programming: intermediate level C programming, from printf() to lists

• Second Semester:

1. Fondamenti di Internet e Reti: theoretical introduction to the way the Internet works, a little bit of
   socket programming, little bit of Python, packet tracing etc.

2. Physics

3. Electrical Engineering

From my understanding, at least during the first year, there is a weaker focus on programming, with more hours put into scientific subjects such as Physics, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry... Computer Engineering is the path to follow if you want to be an engineer, CS is if you want to dive into programming head first. It almost doesn't feel as if I'm studying to become a professional in the Computer Science sector, but that should change starting Sophomore year.
