ME 203X: Prototyping and Process Capture

Concepts and methods for low resolution prototyping as an integral activity in engineering design process. Class meetings include presentations by faculty and design oriented exercises by students. Assignments will be Blog Posts. ME203X is designed to work in phase with ME203 and offers greater depth in protoyping strategy, technique, and resultant insights. Concurrent enrollment in ME203 is required. Enrollment is optional and capped at 6 students.

ME 211: ReMake: Design Lessons from Restoration

Focus is on the restoration of the 1962 Cadillac DeVille project car as a design investigation. Topics include: What makes a car a classic? How does this car express luxury, and how is that different from contemporary luxury products? What does the car say about the American identity, and how has that changed over the past half-century? Every student can expect to get their hands dirty; prior automotive experience is not required. Goal is to have the car operational again by the end of Autumn Quarter. Preference to early graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Enrollment limited to 15.

ME 221: Green Design Strategies and Metrics

Foundation in sustainable product design principles, reinforced by conceptual design projects. Discuss what aspects of sustainability matter most for different products. Application of dozens of strategies to improve product sustainability. Frameworks, measurements, and decision-making tools to navigate the complexities of designing greener products. Life-cycle analysis, materials, energy use, biomimicry, product-service systems, persuasive design, design for end-of-life, and systems thinking.

ME 222: Design for Sustainability

Lecture/lab. Role of design in building a sustainable world. How to include sustainability in the design process considering environmental, cultural, and social impacts. Focus is on a proactive design approach, and the tools and techniques needed to translate theory into artifact.

ME 223: Innovating Water Solutions for Developing Countries

Primarily for graduate students and seniors with strong design and mechanical engineering backgrounds. Currently 1.1 billion people lack safe drinking water and 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation. The FAO states that by 2025 1.9 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world population could be under stress conditions. The Stanford ChangeLabs has initiated a project called the 100 Liter Water project, designed to form strategies to deliver a minimum of 100 liters of water per day per family to the poorest communities in the world. This is a self-directed project class restricted to 15 students selected through an application process. Students work individually and in teams on water related technologies such as solar based low flow pumping systems, rainwater catchment systems, and storage systems. The studio class entails working on the design of solar powered low flow pumps, rainwater catchment systems, and very low cost storage systems designed for sparsely distributed communities in water stressed regions of the world. Students expected to work with autonomy and self-direction, going through multiple rounds of prototyping to generate breakthrough technologies designed to make deep impact.

ME 226: Designing Sustainable Behavior

How do you design a product so people will use it in the most sustainable way? Through practical design exercises you experience how selected design tools can help you affect the behavior of your target group. The course consists of an 8-hour workshop on Saturday April 6th in Studio2 at the d.school, followed by a group project finishing April 24th. Students may request to only audit the workshop by emailing jdaae@stanford.edu. The course builds upon and contributes to an ongoing research project. Prerequisite: training in product design.

ME 229: Design Evangelism

Students work with Ambidextrous staff and magazine professionals to edit and produce Ambidextrous, Stanford University's Journal of Design. Topics include design processes and innovation, storytelling, writing and editing for an audience, magazine production and project leadership. Hands-on projects, in-class exercises, and guest lectures.

ME 233: Making it Big: Crossing the Entrepreneur's Gap

Students learn to take novel designs into entrepreneurial production and prepare for market production. Education, resources, and community are provided to help students cross the gap, founding ideas and making them real, in volume. Topics include entrepreneurial production methods and initiation, vendor selection and engagement, cost, design transfer, quality and testing, manufacturing planning and execution. Course prepares students for leadership roles in entrepreneurial as well as large production-oriented companies. Case studies, regular project reviews, final presentation, industry interaction.

ME 235: Understanding Superfans and their Heroes

Harness the power of the hero coefficient through a radical team-based, hands-on, multidisciplinary class. Students will learn and utilize the principles of Empathy-Define-Ideate-Prototype-Test components of the d.thinking process. Why do superfans love their heroes? You'll get to prototype and explore how superfans connect with their heroes, understanding this connective tissue works will give your own ideas a boost. We'll be studying heroes the likes of Dale Earnhardt, Michael Jordan and Stephen Colbert. Expect to leave this class ready to spread the word about heroes and superfans and make everyone at your company or on your team feel like one. You will hear from special guests and take a field trip to a racetrack. Sponsored by the Revs Program. Limited enrollment. FAQ and apply here: http://revs.stanford.edu/course/693

ME 239: Mechanics of the Cell

Kinematical description of basic structural elements used to model parts of the cell: rods, ropes, membranes, and shells. Formulation of constitutive equations: nonlinear elasticity and entropic contributions. Elasticity of polymeric networks. Applications to model basic filaments of the cytoskeleton: actin, microtubules, intermediate filaments, and complete networks. Applications to biological membranes.
