For what it's worth, computer science programs are not software engineering programs. Sure, in a good CS program you'll have programming lectures/exercises, lectures on SWE, maybe software projects here and there. But make no mistake; a good CS program is not primarily about coding stuff.

Unfortunately it sounds like the CS program you went through had essentially neither CS, nor SWE, making it quite useless as you've noticed. The easiest thing is probably to learn coding by making real projects and contributing to open source.
