ENGR 104B: Designing Your Life
This course applies the mindsets and innovation principles of design thinking to the "wicked problem" of designing your life and vocation. The course introduces design thinking processes through application: students practice awareness and empathy, define areas of life and work on which hey want to work, ideate about ways to move forward, try small prototypes, and test their assumptions. The course is highly interactive. The course will include brief readings, writing, reflections, and in-class exercises. Expect to practice ideation and prototyping methodologies, decision making practices and to participate in hands on activities in pairs, trios, and small groups. Also includes roleplaying, assigned conversations with off campus professionals, guest speakers, and individual mentoring and coaching. It will conclude with creation of 3 versions of the next 5 years and prototype ideas to begin making those futures a reality. Open to juniors, seniors and 5th year coterms, all majors. All enrolled and waitlisted students should attend class on day 1 for admission. Additional course information at

ENGR 104R: Designing Your Spiritual Life (ENGR 204R)
The Stanford Life Design Lab applies human centered design thinking to tackling the "wicked" problems of life and vocational wayfinding. Designing Your Spiritual Life will introduce the innovative problem-solving methodology of design thinking within the context of "life design for students with a spiritual focus," with two main objectives: 1. to serve as an affinity space for students who have a spiritual tradition that informs their life view, to approach the wicked questions of life with a structured framework that helps them to process the various challenges that are unique to their college and life experiences as a potential religious minority, and 2. to equip these students with practical ideas and tools with which they can proactively craft their post-undergraduate vocational and life experiences. This class includes seminar-style and small-group discussions, activities, personal written reflections, guest speakers, and individual mentoring/coaching. Designing Your Spiritual Life will be co-taught by Junaid Aziz from the Design Group, the Life Design Lab, and Dr. Amina Darwish from the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life, and will include guest speakers - chaplains, priests, and spiritual leaders from the Office for Religious and Spiritual Life.

ENGR 104S: Designing Your Stanford (EDUC 118S)
DYS uses a Design Thinking approach to help Freshmen and Sophomores learn practical tools and ideas to make the most of their Stanford experience. Topics include the purpose of college, major selection, educational and vocational wayfinding, and innovating college outcomes, explored through the design thinking process. This seminar class incorporates small group discussion, in-class activities, field exercises, personal reflection, and individual coaching. Expect ideation tools, storytelling practices, prototyping to discover more about yourself and possible paths forward. The course concludes with creation of multiple versions of what college might look like and how to make those ideas reality. All enrolled and waitlisted students should attend class on day 1 for admission. Additional course information at

ENGR 108: Introduction to Matrix Methods
Formerly
EE 103/
CME 103. Introduction to applied linear algebra with emphasis on applications. Vectors, norm, and angle; linear independence and orthonormal sets; applications to document analysis. Clustering and the k-means algorithm. Matrices, left and right inverses, QR factorization. Least-squares and model fitting, regularization and cross-validation. Constrained and nonlinear least-squares. Applications include time-series prediction, tomography, optimal control, and portfolio optimization. Undergraduate students should enroll for 5 units, and graduate students should enroll for 3 units. Prerequisites:
MATH 51 or
CME 100, and basic knowledge of computing (
CS 106A is more than enough, and can be taken concurrently).
ENGR 108 and
Math 104 cover complementary topics in applied linear algebra. The focus of
ENGR 108 is on a few linear algebra concepts, and many applications; the focus of
Math 104 is on algorithms and concepts.
