For Students

Be a Part of the Global Design Thinking Movement

ME310 at Stanford University is open to graduate students or coterminal students with some engineering and/or design background. We appreciate diversity and encourage students from all departments to apply for the course. Sign up on Axess and show up to the first day of class. If there are more interested students than slots in the class, there will be an application process. If you have more questions about the course, contact professors Mark Cutkosky, George Toye.

For Corporate Partners

Challenge the students with your projects

Companies, small and large, from all industries are invited to join ME310 and bring forward their innovation challenges. The teaching team will consult with corporate liaisons to define the right scope and scale of a project. Liaisons are recommended to keep in regular contact with the design teams to provide feedback.



The next project cycle will begin on September 2023 and spots are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. Contact professors Mark Cutkosky, George Toye and/or ME310 Program Administrator John Richardson to begin the project selection process and for further information. You can also download a corporate brochure detailing what it's like to engage with the course here.
