Cool research paper (presented at HARRIS but I finally had time to read the full paper) on hardware reverse engineering education https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3641554.3701797

According to their fairly extensive survey (section 4, figure 1), my 2014 course on hardware RE at RPI was indeed the first ever for-credit university course dedicated to hardware reverse engineering. I've believed this was the case for a long time (as my attempts in 2013-14 to find other courses to build mine on were unsuccessful) but it's nice to have some validation of that.

Maybe one day I can refresh the course with all kinds of new material I've learned since then and offer a followup...
