A bit off-topic... Really, is 18 to 21 credits considered a lot? Down here the average was 24.4 credits per semester, for a total of 244 (BSEE). There were semesters with over 30 credits, though. Interesting to see how different things are in different places.

Back on topic...
As you said it yourself, different schools will have different programs. Since no one commented it, I will: Here in our university Comp. Eng. guys will mostly work with lower level programming languages like Assembly and C, whereas Comp. Sci. will mostly work with higher level languages, including scripting ones.
