printer friendly pageME 310A: Product-Based Engineering Design, Innovation, and Development
This is the 1st quarter of a 3-quarter sequence. It may be taken as a stand-alone course, and is a pre-requisite for ME310BC. It is designed for engineering graduate students seeking a start-up-like experience on projects related to sustainability, automotive interfaces, biomedical devices, robotics, and user interaction design. The ME310 Design Loft (bldg. 550 rm204) is your start-up flight-simulator. In October student teams are paired with teams from overseas partner universities. At that time, global corporations will present break-through product innovation challenges. The Stanford and partner teams engage in design exploration using design thinking methodology including team-dynamics, rapid prototyping and human-centric problem framing. A final report, based on functional prototype testing, defines design requirements and user experience opportunities for Winter and Spring.

ME 310C: Project-Based Engineering Design, Innovation, and Development
Winter and Spring quarters are taken as a unit, with a single grade for both quarters. Admission to ME310BC is by instructor consent, based on an application submitted in December. Industry-project specific teams work with paired design teams at overseas partner universities. Student/project alignment may change from
ME310a, depending on enrollment details. International travel, typically during the spring break, is supported but not required. Teams manage a significant budget for prototyping, subcontracting and evaluating product performance. ME310BC embraces a human-centric design philosophy that includes detailed user-experience-testing for one or more identified user populations.

ME 312: Advanced Product Design: Formgiving
Lecture/lab. Small- and medium- scale design projects carried to a high degree of aesthetic refinement. Emphasis is on form development, design process, and model making.
Last offered: Winter 2015
ME 313: Human Values and Innovation in Design
Introduction to the philosophy, spirit, and tradition of the product design program. Hands-on design projects used as vehicles for design thinking, visualization, and methodology. The relationships among technical, human, aesthetic, and business concerns. Drawing, prototyping, and design skills. Focus is on tenets of design philosophy: point of view, user-centered design, design methodology, and iterative design.
Last offered: Autumn 2015
ME 315: The Designer in Society
This class focuses on individuals and their psychological well being. The class delves into how students perceive themselves and their work, and how they might use design thinking to lead a more creative and committed life. As a participant you read parts of a different book each week and then engage in exercises designed to unlock learnings. In addition, there is a self-selected term project dealing with either eliminating a problem from your life or doing something you have never done before. Apply the first day during class. Attendance at first session is mandatory; otherwise, at most one absence is acceptable. Admission by application. See

ME 316A: Product Design Master's Project
For graduate Product Design or Design (Art) majors only. Student teams, under the supervision of the design faculty, spend the quarter researching master's project topics. Students are expected to demonstrate mastery of design thinking methods including; needfinding, brainstorming, field interviews and synthesis during this investigation. Masters projects are selected that involve the synthesis of aesthetics and technological concerns in the service of human need. Design Institute class; see

ME 316B: Product Design Master's Project
Design Garage is a Winter/Spring class (a two quarter commitment is required). The class is a deep dive in design thinking that uses student-led projects to teach design process and methods. The projects come from investigations conducted during the Fall quarter where the preliminary need finding, customer research, and product or service ideas have been developed to provide the seed projects for the student design teams. Students will learn the methodologies of design thinking by bringing a product, service, or experience to market. Students apply to Design Garage in the Fall, and teams are formed after interviews and applications are reviewed. Prerequisite: graduate student standing.
