This course is designed for you if you are a new student who has a hypothesis that you want to be a scientist, mathematician, or engineer but don't yet know what you want to major in. As a scientist, you know that you need data to test your hypothesis. As a design thinker, you know that there is no way forward except to be exposed to different things and weigh the results. As a potential engineer, you know that you need lots of information to make a decision. Each week a panel of faculty from STEM majors in the School of Engineering, the School of Humanities & Sciences, and Stanford Earth will present with the goal of helping you discover if their field is right for you.

Offered in August prior to start of fall quarter for incoming first-year students participating in the Stanford Summer Engineering Academy (SSEA). This course is comprised of two parallel tracks: One focused on the development and practice of critical problem solving in Computer Science; a second focused on providing a strong foundation in Mathematics. Based on skills developed in both tracks, students also explore the breadth and depth of engineering disciplines from faculty across the School of Engineering. Available by application only.

This weekly seminar is designed to help new students build community and succeed academically while supporting their personal, professional, and scientific growth. Mentorship and career exploration will also be delivered through a series of interactive activities and a diverse line up of guest speakers from across Stanford's School of Engineering, the School of Humanities & Sciences, the Doerr School of Sustainability, and various campus resource centers. Students will engage in active discussion and complete assignments designed to build the skills necessary to successfully navigate academic and professional opportunities while at Stanford. This course has limited enrollment and requires pre-approval prior to registering. Applications for this course are due on Sunday, August 24, 2025. Please register on the waitlist and email chasekaa@stanford.edu to receive application instructions. (Formerly the SSEA Seminar: Developing Your Leadership Toolkit)

Integrated approach to the fundamental scientific principles that are the cornerstones of engineering analysis: conservation of mass, atomic species, charge, momentum, angular momentum, energy, production of entropy expressed in the form of balance equations on carefully defined systems, and incorporating simple physical models. Emphasis is on setting up analysis problems arising in engineering. Topics: simple analytical solutions, numerical solutions of linear algebraic equations, and laboratory experiences. Provides the foundation and tools for subsequent engineering courses. Prerequisite: AP Physics and AP Calculus or equivalent.

Introduction to engineering analysis using the principles of engineering solid mechanics. Builds on the math and physical reasoning concepts in Physics 41 to develop skills in modeling and evaluation of engineered systems across a variety of fields. Topics include analysis of static equilibrium in two-and three-dimensions, static analysis of structures, and stress and deformation analysis for axially loaded members. Foundational ideas for more advanced solid mechanics courses such as ME80 or CEE101A. Limited enrollment, subject to instructor approval. Prerequisites (complete at least 1 of the following courses): PHYSICS41, PHYSICS41E, or PHYSICS61. Corequisites (be concurrently enrolled in or have completed at least 1 of the following courses): CME100 or MATH51. An AP Physics C Mechanics Score of 5 can also fulfill the Physics requirement. Prerequisites strictly enforced.

The application of Newton's Laws to solve 2-D and 3-D static and dynamic problems, particle and rigid body dynamics, freebody diagrams, and equations of motion, with application to mechanical, biomechanical, and aerospace systems. Computer numerical solution and dynamic response. Prerequisites (completed the following courses): MATH19, MATH20, and ENGR14. An AP Calculas AB Score of 5 or an AP Calculas BC score of 4 can also fulfill the Math requirement. Prerequisites strictly enforced.

Overview of chemical engineering through discussion and engineering analysis of physical and chemical processes. Topics: overall staged separations, material and energy balances, concepts of rate processes, energy and mass transport, and kinetics of chemical reactions. Applications of these concepts to areas of current technological importance: biotechnology, energy, production of chemicals, materials processing, and purification. Attendance is required for the lab and discussion sections.

A high-level look at techniques for analyzing and designing complex, multidisciplinary engineering systems, such as aircraft, spacecraft, automobiles, power plants, cellphones, robots, biomedical devices, and many others. The need for multi-level design, modeling and simulation approaches, computation-based design, and hardware and software-in-the-loop simulations will be demonstrated through a variety of examples and case studies. Several aspects of system engineering will be applied to the design of large-scale interacting systems and contrasted with subsystems such as hydraulic systems, electrical systems, and brake systems. The use of design-thinking, story-boarding, mockups, sensitivity analysis, simulation, team-based design, and the development of presentation skills will be fostered through several realistic examples in several fields of engineering.

Instruction will be completed in the first seven weeks of the quarter. Students not majoring in Electrical Engineering may choose to take only ENGR 40A; Electrical Engineering majors should take both ENGR 40A and ENGR 40B. Overview of electronic circuits and applications. Electrical quantities and their measurement, including operation of the oscilloscope. Basic models of electronic components including resistors, capacitors, inductors, and operational amplifiers. Lab. Lab assignments. Enrollment limited to 300.
