How does this compare to something that might be offered in a strong computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering program in the U.S. or Europe?

It’s not really the same scope but Stanford had (has?) a course where you literally fab a simple computer chip yourself from bare silicon to rudimentary packaging. It takes a team on 4 one quarter working pretty much around the clock
