ME 373: Nanomaterials Synthesis and Applications for Mechanical Engineers

This course provides an introduction to both combustion synthesis of functional nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The first part of the course will introduce basic principles, synthesis/fabrication techniques and application of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The second part of the course will discuss combustion synthesis of nanostructures in zero-, one- two- and three- dimensions, their characterization methods, physical and chemical properties, and applications in energy conversion systems.
Terms: Win | Units: 3
Instructors: Zheng, X. (PI)

ME 374: Dynamics and Kinetics of Nanoparticles

Part 1: Thermodynamics, transport theories and properties, aerosol dynamics and reaction kinetics of nanoparticles in fluids. Nucleation, gas kinetic theory of nanoparticles, the Smoluchowski equation, gas-surface reactions, diffusion, thermophoresis, conservation equations and useful solutions. Part 2: Introduction to soot formation, nanoparticles in reacting flows, particle transport and kinetics in flames, atmospheric heterogenous reactions, and nanocatalysis.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Wang, H. (PI)

ME 375A: StoryViz: COMMUNICATION REDESIGNED

StoryViz is about creating authentic & compelling communication in many media: this year's topics include sketching, video, visual design & performance. Fantastic guests and a bevy of assignments will prepare students to communicate their work and ideas genuinely, concisely, and with a keen sense of wit. Limited enrollment; application required; see http://dschool.stanford.edu/classes. Please see notes.
Terms: Aut | Units: 2-3

ME 377: Design Thinking Studio: Experiences in Innovation and Design

Design Thinking Studio is an immersive introduction to design thinking. You will engage in the real world, with your eyes, with your mind, with your hands, and with classmates to learn, practice, and use the tools and attitudes of design. The fundamental goal of the class is to cultivate the creative, synthetic, and divergent thinking of students. This is a project-based class, asking students to take on new behaviors of work: collaboration, experimentation, empathizing, visualization, craft and inference. Field work and collaboration with teammates are required and critical for student success. Admission by application. See dschool.stanford.edu/classes for more information.
Terms: Aut, Win | Units: 3-4

ME 378: Tell, Make, Engage: Action Stories for Entrepreneuring

Individual storytelling action and reflective observations gives the course an evolving framework of evaluative methods, formed and reformed by collaborative development within the class. Stories attached to an idea or a discovery, are considered through iterative narrative work and small group research projects. This course will use qualitative and quantitative methods for story engagement, assessment, and class determined research projects with practice exercises, artifacts, short papers and presentations.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1-3 | Repeatable for credit
Instructors: Karanian, B. (PI)

ME 379: Fail Faster

Fail Faster will dive deeply into one of design thinking's key tenets: Fail early, fail often. Students will explore ways to: [1] become comfortable with uncertainty, [2] develop tools to navigate situations of failure, and [3] learn to turn failures into opportunities. This exercised-based workshop will examine the physiological impact of failure and practice the psychological traits and the power of resilience through hands-on activities. Participants will acquire techniques to help them navigate, bounce back, grow and even flourish in the face of their failures.
