Yes. Even part of my pretty standard CS curriculum included electrical engineering (breadboard to ALU), assembly (self hosted interpreter/vm) and language theory (C clone) courses. With a bit of time I or my classmates could build a computer from scratch, but the relevancy of this to my day job of many years as web and scientific programmer has been zero to minor. I think it gives me enough insight into many phenomena, but the lower, the less it is relative to making stuff actually happen for people. We are building up.
