This course for Masters students in the Stanford Design Program helps students develop a point of view about their design career that will enable them to articulate their design vision, inspire a design studio, or infect a business with a culture of design-thinking. This class focuses on the integration of work and worldview, professional values, design language, and the development of the designer's voice. Includes seminar-style discussions, role-playing, short writing assignments, guest speakers, and individual mentoring and coaching.

ME 306: Engineering Design Theory in Practice
Introduction to theories and frameworks underlying engineering design practice. Why do we do the things we do in engineering design thinking? How can we improve performance using design frameworks? Four perspectives on design thinking ¿ design as social activity, cognitive activity, prototyping and learning. Practice of effective team behaviors for concept generation, decision-making, and conflict-handling. C-K Theory and its application to design practice. Media cascade and boundary object frameworks for prototyping. Application of Perception-Action framework and Social Learning Theory. Students engage in multiple projects to apply theories to practical situations.

ME 309: Finite Element Analysis in Mechanical Design
Basic concepts of finite elements, with applications to problems confronted by mechanical designers. Linear static, modal, and thermal formulations emphasized; nonlinear and dynamic formulations introduced. Application of a commercial finite element code in analyzing design problems. Issues: solution methods, modeling techniques, features of various commercial codes, basic problem definition. Individual projects focus on the interplay of analysis and testing in product design/development. Prerequisites:
Math 51, or equivalent. Recommended: ME80 or
CEE101A, or equivalent in structural and/or solid mechanics; some exposure to principles of heat transfer.
