I love this! Nanofabrication was one of my favorite classes and even with fancy equipment and worked out ahead of time instructions making a transistor took a huge amount of time and a good number of missteps. Can't imagine the amount of work required to do it all from scratch. Though I also think the safety lectures scared me sufficiently that I wouldn't want to touch HF acid ever again.
The course number was ES277, though the professor left and it doesn't look like it's currently being offered under that course number. Not sure if there's a replacement class or the department decided to quietly shut it down. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter. The class was rumored to be the second most expensive one offered by the university, after the one where you got to grow organs in a petri dish. I also tried taking that one, but apparently not being a biologist was disqualifying.
