CEE 107R: E^3: Extreme Energy Efficiency (CEE 207R)

Be part of a unique and intense six day course about extreme energy efficiency taking place during Spring Break at Rocky Mountain Institute's Innovation Center in Basalt, Colorado! Students will also meet several times during the quarter prior to the spring break portion of the course. E^3 will focus on efficiency techniques' design, performance, choice, evolution, integration, barrier-busting, profitable business-led implementation, and implications for energy supply, competitive success, environment, development, security, etc. Examples will span very diverse sectors, applications, issues, and disciplines, with each day covering a different energy theme: buildings, transportation, industry, and implementation and implications, including renewable energy synergy and integration. Solid technical grounding and acquaintance with basic economics and business concepts will both be helpful. Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) will design a series of lectures, exercises, and interactive activities synthesizing integrative design principles. Students will be introduced to Factor 10 Engineering, the approach for optimizing the whole system for multiple benefits. Students will work closely and interactively with RMI staff including Amory Lovins, cofounder and Chief Scientist of Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). Exercises will illuminate challenges RMI has faced and solutions it has created in real-world design. Students will explore clean-sheet solutions that meet end-use demands and optimize whole-system resource efficiency, often with expanding rather than diminishing returns to investments, i.e. making big savings cheaper than small ones. Students will meet as a class once during winter quarter to discuss preparation and spring break logistics. Students must pay for their own travel to and from Basalt, CO (~$400). Lodging and food will be provided during the course. Students must apply - instructor approval required. All backgrounds and disciplines, both undergraduate and graduate, are welcome to apply. Prerequisite - completion of one of the following courses or their equivalent is required: CEE 107A/207A/ Earthsys 103, CEE 107S/ CEE 207S, CEE 176A, CEE 176B. Contact Diana Ginnebaugh at moongdes@stanford.edu for an application. Course details are available at the website: https://web.stanford.edu/class/cee207r/

DESINST 235: Portfolios are for Everyone

Whether you are a scientist, a historian, a medical student, a journalist, an entrepreneur, or a designer, in the near future you will find yourself telling your story to potential collaborators, funders, employers, and others. You can no longer rely on a resumé or a transcript to show a comprehensive range of your skills and experiences. As more work and workplaces become project-based, these formats fall short of revealing the potential you have. This class will help you create a portfolio¿in whatever form is relevant to your field¿that communicates your value and your values to prospective collaborators or employers. Students from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. This class will be most useful to students who have a future path in mind, regardless of when that will begin. Application required, see dschool.stanford.edu/classes for more information.

DESINST 240: Designing Machine Learning: A Multidisciplinary Approach

As machine learning makes its way into all kinds of products, systems, spaces, and experiences, we need to train a new generation of creators to harness the potential of machine learning and also to understand its implications. This class invites a mix of designers, data scientists, engineers, business people, and diverse professionals of all backgrounds to help create a multi-disciplinary environment for collaboration. Through a mixture of hands-on guided investigations and design projects, students will learn to design systems of machine learning that create lasting value within their human contexts and environments. Application required, see dschool.stanford.edu/classes for more information.

DESINST 250: Oceans by Design

Marine ecosystems - on which global and human health rely - are degrading rapidly from the cumulative effects of climate change, pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction. Multidisciplinary problem solving is required to address social, ecological, and economic dimensions and tackle today's greatest oceans threats. In this course, you will learn to combine marine science, policy, emerging tech, empathy, and rapid experimentation. This class is co-hosted by the d.school and the Center for Ocean Solutions. Admission by application. See dschool.stanford.edu/classes for more information.

DESINST 260A: Design for Pediatric Patients (PEDS 128)

Feeding is a complex process involving coordinated interaction among several systems in the context of the parent-child dyad. A disruption in any of these systems places a child at risk for a feeding disorder. This two-quarter class will focus on the pediatric population who have feeding challenges in the neonatal ICU, the labor and delivery room, and at home. Students will use design thinking methodology as a pathway for medical device and/or systems innovation. Components of the course will involve Immersive simulation, aspects of the Stanford Biodesign method for needs prioritization, and storytelling techniques for compelling presentations.

DESINST 260B: Designing for Pediatric Patients (PEDS 128B, PEDS 228B)

This two-quarter class will focus on the pediatric population who have feeding challenges in the neonatal ICU, the labor and delivery room, and at home once discharged. Students will practice design thinking methodology as a pathway for medical device and/or systems innovation. Limited enrollment via application. Must sign up for DESINST260A and DESINST260B.

DESINST 310: Negotiation by Design: Applied Design Thinking for Negotiators

An application is required; please submit and wait for approval before enrolling in Axess. See https://dschool.stanford.edu/classes/negotiation-by-design for more information. Where many stakeholders are working within a complex scenario, the skilled negotiator is comfortable with the inherent ambiguity, at once nimble and careful in responding to new information and changing positions. In this advanced negotiation course, we will crack open some of the fundamental negotiation principles and show you how, where and why design thinking can add unique value to your negotiation skills and outcomes. Mapping and designing the structure and process of your negotiation; understanding tools to gain empathy for the stakeholders involved in the negotiation; learning different styles of negotiation; practicing spontaneity, adaptability and presence in the moment; team brainstorming in preparation, and team dynamics in the execution of a negotiation. You will work through exercises that isolate these skills and then apply them in simulated negotiations, at least one in every class session, to improve your confidence and competence as a negotiator. You and your teammates will then bring them all to bear in a capstone, multi-party, multi-issue negotiation simulation. If you have already taken a basic negotiation course, or have demonstrable experience, we invite you to apply. No previous design thinking experience is required, though certainly useful.
