Study Focus – ME310Stanford University’s ME310: Project-Based Engineering Design Innovation & Developmentcourse challenges students to work in teams to explore design innovation opportunities inareas of interest to partner companies from diverse industries. This year-long course sequencehas engaged graduate engineering students in industry-sponsored projects where they learn tonavigate various phases of integrated design since 1967. More on the evolution of the coursecan be found in [31]–[36].The contexts, needs and requirements of each project are open for student teams to discoverand specify for themselves. The learning journey includes iterating the processes of studyingpotential contexts, need finding, benchmarking, ideation
