ME 325: Making Multiples: Injection Molding
Design course focusing on the process of injection molding as a prototyping and manufacturing tool. Coursework will include creating and evaluating initial design concepts, detailed part design, mold design, mold manufacturing, molding parts, and testing and evaluating the results. Students will work primarily on individually selected projects, using each project as a tool to continue developing and exercising individual design process. Lectures and field trips will provide students with context for their work in the Stanford Product Realization Lab. Prerequisite: ME318 or consent of instructors.

ME 327: Design and Control of Haptic Systems
Study of the design and control of haptic systems, which provide touch feedback to human users interacting with virtual environments and teleoperated robots. Focus is on device modeling (kinematics and dynamics), synthesis and analysis of control systems, design and implementation, and human interaction with haptic systems. Coursework includes homework/laboratory assignments and a hands-on project. Directed toward undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and computer science. Prerequisites: dynamic systems, feedback controls, and MATLAB programming.

ME 329: Mechanical Analysis in Design
This project based course will cover the application of engineering analysis methods learned in the Mechanics and Finite Element series to real world problems involving the mechanical analysis of a proposed device or process. Students work in teams, and each team has the goal of solving a problem defined jointly with a sponsoring company or research group. Each team will be mentored by a faculty mentor and a mentor from the sponsoring organization. The students will gain experience in the formation of project teams; interdisciplinary communication skills; intellectual property; and project management. Course has limited enrollment.

ME 334: Advanced Dynamics, Modeling and Analysis
Modeling and analysis of dynamical systems. This class will cover reference frames and coordinate systems, kinematics and constraints, mass distribution, virtual work, D'Alembert's principle, Lagrange, and Hamiltonian equations of motion. We will then consider select topics in controls and machine learning that utilize dynamics concepts. Students will learn and apply these concepts through homework and projects involving dynamic systems simulation. Prerequisites:
