Programming = writing/testing/maintaining/debugging code. No one sits down to draw a UML or ERD diagram and says they're programming.

I've seen it year after year. Students coming into uni doing seng thinking they'll do tonnes and tonnes of hardcore programming (ie, coding) only get severely disappointed because the focus is on design and management, not sitting down being code monkeys.
A friend of mine transferred out of seng after the first week of uni when we started in 2003.
But that definitely doesn't make it less programming oriented than other courses, but in my opinion its not "the most heavily geared towards actual programming / coding". Its all part of the general misconception seng = all writing code and comp eng = all hardware.
