Global Engineering Design Thinking, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship

Catalog description

ME310BC is a two-quarter continuation of ME310 and typically requires ME310A as a prerequisite. In ME310B the focus is on detailed design and prototyping of novel components and systems, often re-framing the problem and identifying new user populations in light of new information. ME310C focuses on making the design credible from an engineering and business perspective. Teams perform user testing and explore pre-production manufacturing techniques to create their final prototypes. They present their solutions at the EXPE (http://expe.stanford.edu) and produce a report that documents not only the final solutions but also the alternatives considered. Final reports are archived in the Stanford Engineering Libraries: ME310 Project Based Engineering, Digital Collection.
