It all depends on projects, projects, and more projects. If you department, like ours, focuses on projects, in nearly every single CSE class, 8-10 hours might not even be enough. Evidence can be provided if necessary. It all depends on the quality of your program. Some focus on theory, others focus on PROJECTS!
Students who ask "how many hours are spent studying" may not be happy with Engineering/CS majors. Basically you spend most time in class or studying. Perhaps it is better to ask the question in reverse... "How much time time do you have left in the day to eat / sleep / play "?
