Quote Ourwork

Our undergraduate and graduate students in the Design Program work on a very large range of projects, from foundational design exercises to big wicked problems like energy, sustainability, education, and more. Students work in studio-based classes in both the Art and Mechanical Engineering departments and have a state-of-the art facility, the Product Realization Lab, at their disposal to realize their ideas and inventions. (learn more about the PRL at http://prl.stanford.edu ) The classes all use a problem-based learning methodology where the students learn by doing. We also work with real world projects through affiliates and partners. These can be Fortune 500 companies, Silicon Valley startups, non-profits and NGOs. Sometimes the ideas are so good we start companies with them.
