CHEMENG 55: Foundational Biology for Engineers (ENGR 55)

Biology, physics, and chemistry are the substrates for the modern engineer. Whether you are interested in developing the next generation of medicines or would like the next material or catalyst you design to be inspired by solutions found in Nature, this course will deepen your knowledge of the foundational concepts in biology and enrich your engineering skills. We will introduce the physical principles that underlie the construction and function of living cells, the fundamental building block of life. Emphasis will be on systems, logic, quantitation, and mechanisms of the molecular processes utilized by all life on Earth. This course has no prerequisites, but prior completion of CHEM 31 or equivalent is highly recommended.
Terms: Aut | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: WAY-AQR, WAY-SMA

CHEMENG 90Q: Dare to Care: Compassionate Design

Imagine yourself with your abundant creativity, intellect, and passion, but your ability to move or speak is diminished. How would you face the world, how would you thrive at Stanford, how would you relay to people your ideas and creations? How would you share yourself and your ideas with the world? There are more than 50 million individuals in America with at least one disability, and in the current world of design, these differences are often overlooked. How do we as designers empower people of diverse physical abilities and provide them with means of self-expression?In Compassionate Design, students from any prospective major are invited to explore the engineering design process by examining the needs of persons with disabilities. Through invited guests, students will have the opportunity to directly engage people with different types of disabilities as a foundation to design products that address problems of motion and mobility, vision, speech and hearing. For example, in class, students will interview people who are deaf, blind, have cerebral palsy, or other disabling conditions. Students will then be asked, using the design tools they have been exposed to as part of the seminar, to create a particular component or device that enhances the quality of life for that user or users with similar limitations.Presentation skills are taught and emphasized as students will convey their designs to the class and instructors. Students will complete this seminar with a compassionate view toward design for the disabled, they will acquire a set of design tools that they can use to empower themselves and others in whatever direction they choose to go, and they will have increased confidence and abilities in presenting in front of an audience.
