The courses or books shouldn't necessarily be about programming or CS. They can be from math, bio or any other domain.The main criteria is that it makes you a better thinker, designer, engineer and ultimately a better problem solver.

There is a 3 part course on Coursera by U of Washington Prof Dan Grossman called
Programming Languages A: https://in.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages
Programming Languages B: https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages-part-b
Programming Languages C: https://in.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages-part-c
It will surely make you a great programmer if you haven't dabbled with functional languages before. Even if you have, it still makes a great course only for the teaching style of Dan.

A great place to start is the ACM CS Curricula. It has a list of exemplar courses and well defined criteria.
