In most European countries too. You can get a Computer Engineering degree, equivalent to an US MSc in Engineering, with a Software, Hardware, Networking or some other topic focus. Mine was Telecommunications :)

These degrees are a mix of various proportions of traditional Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and software craft, depending upon your focus.

Computer Engineering and Software Engineering are two completely different things. SE is "testing, version control, design patterns", but CE is electrical engineering with a few programming classes. (I was a CE major.)
