Undergraduates who have been admitted to Stanford through the regular admissions or transfer process may declare Product Design as their major. For information on applying to Stanford go to http://www.stanford.edu/home/admission/.

The Product Design major concerns itself with the conception and design of products, services and experiences for the benefit of society. The program teaches a design process that encourages creativity, craftsmanship, and personal expression, and emphasizes brainstorming and need finding to discover latent or un-served human need. Students studying Product Design follow the basic Mechanical Engineering curriculum and are expected to meet the University requirements for a Bachelors of Science. See the Stanford Bulletin for the current School of Engineering and Product Design major requirements or go on-line at http://www.stanford.edu/dept/registrar/bulletin/bulletin06-07/pdf/DegreePrograms.pdf for complete details.
