ME 303: Soft Composites and Soft Robotics (MATSCI 333)
Fundamentals of soft materials and soft composites in the aspects of mechanical characterization, polymer physics, mechanics, finite-element-analysis of large deformation, and advanced material fabrication including different 3D printing technologies. Stimuli-responsive soft composites for soft robotics and shape-morphing structures will be introduced. Examples such as material systems that respond to magnetic field, electrical field, pneumatic pressure, light, and heat will be discussed. Prerequisites:

ME 305: Dynamics and Feedback Control of Living Systems (BIOE 305)
In this course, students will explore feedback control mechanisms that living organisms (cells) implement to execute their function. In addition, students will learn the basics of re-engineering feedback control systems in order for cells to execute new decision making behaviors. The focus will be on molecular level feedback control mechanisms for single cells with mention of cooperative feedback control for multicellular coordination as time permits. We will incorporate principles from Systems Biology, Control and Dynamical Systems Theory with Numerical and Stochastic Simulation. Basic biological mechanisms will be reviewed within the course to provide context and conceptual understanding. Ultimately, students with interest in control theoretic applications will learn how to use notions from control theory to accurately reason about cellular behavior.

ME 308: Carbon Dioxide and Methane Removal, Utilization, and Sequestration (EARTHSYS 308, ENERGY 308, ENVRES 295, ESS 308)
This is a seminar on carbon dioxide and methane removal, utilization, and sequestration options, and their role in decarbonizing the global energy system. This course will cover topics including the global carbon balance, utilizing atmospheric carbon in engineered solutions, recycling and sequestering fossil-based carbon, and enhancing natural carbon sinks. The multidisciplinary lectures and discussions will cover elements of technology, economics, policy and social acceptance, and will be led by a series of guest lecturers.

ME 310A: Global Engineering Design Thinking, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship
The ME310ABC sequence immerses students in a real-world, engineering design experience in the spirit of a Silicon Valley start-up, managing the uncertainty inherent in entrepreneurial design. Teams of Stanford graduate students often partner with similar teams at international universities for a global perspective. Design challenges are frequently at the human interface: to robots, transportation devices, manufacturing, or medical technologies (
http://me310.stanford.edu). In ME310A teams integrate corporate and market context, user definitions and need-finding, research on competing technologies, and focused early prototyping to deliver a proposal for detailed design in ME310BC.
