ME 204A: Bicycle Design and Frame-Building

Lecture/lab. The engineering and artistic execution of designing and building a bicycle frame. Fundamentals of bicycle dynamics, handling, and sizing. Manufacturing processes. Films, guest lecturers, field trips. Each student designs and fabricates a custom bicycle frame. This course is now a two part course series ME204A&B. Limited enrollment. Prerequisite: 203 or equivalent.

ME 204B: Bicycle Design and Frame-Building

The engineering and artistic execution of designing and building a bicycle frame. The fundamentals of bicycle dynamics, handling, and sizing. Manufacturing processes. Films, guest lecturers, field trips. Each student designs a custom bicycle frame that they continue from ME204A in winter quarter. Limited enrollment, admission by consent of instructors. Attendance at first lecture is required. Both ME204A and ME204B must be taken. Prerequisite: 203 or equivalent.

ME 205: Flexible Part Design

Project based course. Students design and fabricate tooling to create and refine elastomeric parts using RTV silicone rubber. Focus is on the development of elastomeric part design intuition through iteration. Fabrication techniques include manual/CNC machining and additive manufacturing, and molding liquid silicone. Prerequisites: ME203 or instructor consent. Recommended: ME318. Admission is by consent of the instructor. Class size limited to 10, must attend first lecture.

ME 211: ReMake: Design Lessons from Restoration

Focus is on the restoration of the 1962 Cadillac DeVille project car as a design investigation. Topics include: What makes a car a classic? How does this car express luxury, and how is that different from contemporary luxury products? What does the car say about the American identity, and how has that changed over the past half-century? Every student can expect to get their hands dirty; prior automotive experience is not required. Goal is to have the car operational again by the end of Autumn Quarter. Preference to early graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Enrollment limited to 15.

ME 213: Design for Exploration (ARTSTUDI 265)

A collaboration with the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Students investigate and experiment with all aspects of the creation of interactive museum exhibits. On-site exhibit floor sessions and prototyping workshops. Lectures from museum staff on exhibit design. Students design and construct exhibits for temporary placement on the floor of the Exploratorium. To be considered for admission to the course, student must fill out an application form at http://stanford.edu/~edmark/application.htm no later than Nov 30th, 2013.

ME 221: Green Design Strategies and Metrics

Foundation in sustainable product design principles, reinforced by conceptual design projects. Discuss what aspects of sustainability matter most for different products. Application of dozens of strategies to improve product sustainability. Frameworks, measurements, and decision-making tools to navigate the complexities of designing greener products. Life-cycle analysis, materials, energy use, biomimicry, product-service systems, persuasive design, design for end-of-life, and systems thinking.

ME 222: Design for Sustainability

Lecture/lab. Role of design in building a sustainable world. How to include sustainability in the design process considering environmental, cultural, and social impacts. Focus is on a proactive design approach, and the tools and techniques needed to translate theory into artifact.

ME 223: Innovating Water Solutions for Developing Countries

Primarily for graduate students and seniors with strong design and mechanical engineering backgrounds. Currently 1.1 billion people lack safe drinking water and 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation. The FAO states that by 2025 1.9 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world population could be under stress conditions. The Stanford ChangeLabs has initiated a project called the 100 Liter Water project, designed to form strategies to deliver a minimum of 100 liters of water per day per family to the poorest communities in the world. This is a self-directed project class restricted to 15 students selected through an application process. Students work individually and in teams on water related technologies such as solar based low flow pumping systems, rainwater catchment systems, and storage systems. The studio class entails working on the design of solar powered low flow pumps, rainwater catchment systems, and very low cost storage systems designed for sparsely distributed communities in water stressed regions of the world. Students expected to work with autonomy and self-direction, going through multiple rounds of prototyping to generate breakthrough technologies designed to make deep impact.

ME 224: The Consumer Mind and Behavior Design

This course will introduce new theories and research concerning neuroscience and behavioral psychology to examine models for designing user habits. Students will learn how to use the latest behavior change methodologies from industry-leading experts to design or re-design a customer experience. Course topics will be taught in the context of design thinking: empathize-define-ideate-prototype-test. Students will leave the class having prototyped, tested, and improved a user behavior.

ME 226: Designing Sustainable Behavior

How do you design a product so people will use it in the most sustainable way? Through practical design exercises you experience how selected design tools can help you affect the behavior of your target group. The course consists of an 8-hour workshop on Saturday April 6th in Studio2 at the d.school, followed by a group project finishing April 24th. Students may request to only audit the workshop by emailing jdaae@stanford.edu. The course builds upon and contributes to an ongoing research project. Prerequisite: training in product design.
