Catalog description
Second course in a two-course sequence. An immersive quarter focused on a comprehensive introduction to basic fabrication and microcontroller systems. The course will cover advanced firmware, wireless and wired networking protocols, APIs and application development; on the fabrication side, it will introduce computer controlled milling and casting/molding. This second quarter will allow more creative expression with fabrication skills, including large format projects, an advanced group project, and a final individual project that marries the standalone skills of the last quarter with networking and application development introduced in this quarter. CSE 201 is a prerequiste for this class.
Hardware relevance

- Relationship: uses_facility
- Rationale: Second course in The Forge sequence (CSE 301 per catalog); same documented program and teaching context as CSE 201 — ISE program page pairs The Forge with the Idea Realization Lab, and the Ramsay Q&A ties the multi-quarter Forge-style coursework to Idea Realization Lab projects. DePaul course catalog description references Forge / IRL fabrication pathway.
