12/23/2015M.R. Cutkosky, Stanford University goal: Develop global design-development team LEADERS prepared for a life-long odyssey in creative engineering design that is both pragmatic and intellectually informed. given: Few incoming students have real, complete, engineering product design experience. Fewer have been encouraged to examine the intellectual foundations of design. approach: Corporate partners drive technical learning and motivate product development; the instructional team oversees process-management and intellectual skill development-learning; technology is used to accelerate the learning curve. ME210 Goals & Approach

12/23/2015M.R. Cutkosky, Stanford University Project-based learning I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius Me210 is about forming and running creative, productive, engineering design teams. It is also about “the Design Division philosophy” of engineering design. It is the quintessential project-based learning (PBL) course: see and hear do and experience reflect and introspect document for the future

12/23/2015M.R. Cutkosky, Stanford University ME210/310 Design Document templates Captures the process that lead to your design. What is the need that your design addresses? What are the requirements behind your design? What was your design approach - what alternatives did you consider, how did you evaluate them? What are the specifications of your design? What are the lessons learned from the process?
