Virginia Tech's Computing Systems course, adapted from CMU's systems course built around the CS:APP textbook, covering how programs run at the machine level. The linked projects (bomb lab and buffer lab) are debugging and assembly exercises that require gdb.
The commenter calls it an excellent course that taught concepts and skills they had otherwise picked up in an ad-hoc way.

Our Computing Systems course had two projects that absolutely required using gdb:

Our version of the course was adapted from the CMU course: http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/ I thought it was an excellent course. It taught students both concepts and skills that I had picked up in a much more ad-hoc manner.
