“How and why does access to entrepreneurial opportunities vary by geographic borders, racial/gender borders, or other barriers created by where or who you are? What kinds of inequalities are created by limited access to capital or education and what role does entrepreneurship play in upward mobility in societies globally? What are the unique issues involved in creating a successful startup in Europe, Latin America, Africa, China or India? What is entrepreneurial leadership in a venture that spans country borders? Is Silicon Valley-style entrepreneurship possible in other places? How does an entrepreneur act differently when creating a company in a less-developed institutional environment? Learn through forming teams, a mentor-guided startup project focused on developing students' startups in international markets, case studies, research on the unequal access to wealth creation and innovation via entrepreneurship, while also networking with top entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who work across borders.”

“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. 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.”

“Continuation of 41. Methods of symbolic and numerical integration, applications of the definite integral, introduction to differential equations, infinite series. Prerequisite: 41 or equivalent. *If you have not previously taken a calculus course at Stanford then you must have taken the math placement diagnostic (offered through the Math Department website) in order to register for this course.”

Freshman-level, Section-based, Course Assistant, Stanford University (Fall 2016)

“Introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable. Topics: limits, rates of change, the derivative and applications, introduction to the definite integral and integration. Math 41 and 42 cover the same material as Math 19-20-21, but in two quarters rather than three. Prerequisites: trigonometry, advanced algebra, and analysis of elementary functions, including exponentials and logarithms. *If you have not previously taken a calculus course at Stanford then you must have taken the math placement diagnostic (offered through the Math Department website) in order to register for this course..”

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. In this class we will examine the history of design, the challenges that designers over the ages have had to face and the ethical questions that have arisen from those choices. This class will explore a non-traditional view of design, looking at both the sung and unsung figures of history and question the choices they made, up to and including recent events in the Silicon Valley. This is a project class, so we will be making design works in response to the questions we unearth together.”

“ME101 is the foundation class for all designers and creative people at Stanford. It teaches you how to access your creativity through a series of projects. Visual thinking, a powerful adjunct to other problem solving modalities, is developed and exercised in the context of solving some fun and challenging design problems. Along the way, the class expands your access to your imagination, helps you see more clearly with the "mind's eye", and learn how to do rapid visualization and prototyping. The emphasis on basic creativity, learning to build in the 3D world, and fluent and flexible idea production.”
