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 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.

ENGR 148: Principled Entrepreneurial Decisions (ENGR 248)
Principled Entrepreneurial Decisions examines how leaders tackle significant inflection points that occur in high-growth entrepreneurial companies. Students learn how to develop principles as a powerful tool to face tough situations that they will encounter in their lives and their chosen career. Cases and guest speakers discuss not only the business rationale for the decisions taken but also how their principles affected those decisions. A capstone project provides frameworks for students to develop their own set of principles. The teaching team brings its wealth of experience in both entrepreneurship and VC investing to the class. Limited enrollment. Admission by application:

ENGR 154: Vector Calculus for Engineers (CME 100)
Computation and visualization using MATLAB. Differential vector calculus: vector-valued functions, analytic geometry in space, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, gradient, linearization, unconstrained maxima and minima, Lagrange multipliers and applications to trajectory simulation, least squares, and numerical optimization. Introduction to linear algebra: matrix operations, systems of algebraic equations with applications to coordinate transformations and equilibrium problems. Integral vector calculus: multiple integrals in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates, line integrals, scalar potential, surface integrals, Green's, divergence, and Stokes' theorems. Numerous examples and applications drawn from classical mechanics, fluid dynamics and electromagnetism. Prerequisites: knowledge of single-variable calculus equivalent to the content of

ENGR 155A: Ordinary Differential Equations for Engineers (CME 102)
Analytical and numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations arising in engineering applications are presented. For analytical methods students learn to solve linear and non-linear first order ODEs; linear second order ODEs; and Laplace transforms. Numerical methods using MATLAB programming tool kit are also introduced to solve various types of ODEs including: first and second order ODEs, higher order ODEs, systems of ODEs, initial and boundary value problems, finite differences, and multi-step methods. This also includes accuracy and linear stability analyses of various numerical algorithms which are essential tools for the modern engineer. This class is foundational for professional careers in engineering and as a preparation for more advanced classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
