ME 346A: Introduction to Statistical Mechanics

The main purpose of this course is to provide students with enough statistical mechanics background to the Molecular Simulations classes ( ME 346B,C), including the fundamental concepts such as ensemble, entropy, and free energy, etc. The main theme of this course is how the laws at the macroscale (thermodynamics) can be obtained by analyzing the spontaneous fluctuations at the microscale (dynamics of molecules). Topics include thermodynamics, probability theory, information entropy, statistical ensembles, phase transition and phase equilibrium. Recommended: PHYSICS 110 or equivalent.

ME 350A: Design @ the Intersection of Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship

This one-unit class is for graduate students who are passionate about turning their research into a product or service. Priority will be given to students with mature research findings from the sciences, engineering, or mathematics, students who have business acumen or start-up experience, as well as students from other fields of research. If you want to get out of your lab, away from your machine, form a team, and start to design your future come join us.nnThis one-unit class is for graduate students who are passionate about turning their research into a product or service. Priority will be given to students with mature research findings from the sciences, engineering, or mathematics, students who have business acumen or start-up experience, as well as students from other fields of research. If you want to get out of your lab, away from your machine, form a team, and start to design your future come join us.nWe¿ll meet every other week over the quarter in five self-contained workshops where students will join multiple interdisciplinary teams and explore the practical applications of fellow students¿ innovations, experience team formation and collaboration, and begin to explore product design. Advisors from industry and academia will mentor student teams. This class will prepare you to apply to a more intensive three-unit class in fall quarter where teams will push further using a human-centered approach to product discovery and continue to explore the practical applications of their research. While helpful, this class will not be a pre-requisite for the second course.nndschool.stanford.edu/classes
