Looks like your course focused on real-time and embedded systems, but used the same name. MIT's course is focusing more on general-purpose servers.

I expect MIT also teaches RT/Embedded also but probably calls it something along those lines.

Both skillsets are necessary, and IMHO not enough programmers are exposed to real-time systems in school. It's a very different style of coding and all modern desktop systems would work better if their designers had a better understanding of real-time principles.
