Do you mean 6.004[1]? I took that a few years ago and we virtually "built" a computer from scratch - laying down the wires with a hardware description language, writing a simple OS, etc. Unfortunately, it was all inside a simulator, so connecting the wires wasn't as tangible and satisfying as I would have liked. In the class, we heard that in the past students actually worked with physical components. Was still really fun and rewarding, though. [1] http://6004.csail.mit.edu/ http://6004.csail.mit.edu/
