Simon, have a look at MIT's syllabus for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
The paragraph below I found particularly interesting, the highlighting is mine:
6.00 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming
Introduction to computer science and programming for students with little or no programming experience. Students learn how to program and how to use computational techniques to solve problems. Topics include algorithms, simulation techniques, and use of software libraries. Assignments are done using the Python programming language.

Hello techies,
I have been invited by my Alma Mater for a brainstorming session with a view to improve their Computer Science degree program. I thought it would be a good thing to first of all hear from employers and supervisors of Computer Science degree holders what they think most graduates lack that would be worth considering when coming up with a computer science degree program.
Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Muchas gracias,
Me.
