Stanford's Innovation Masters Series is the Mechanical
Engineering Design Group’s flagship professional education program. This
2.5-day event - now in its 8th year - exposes industry and academic
professionals from all over the world to Stanford’s design thinking
expertise via hands-on exercises and creative challenges. Program highlights
include touring labs and classrooms to get an insider’s look at
Stanford’s design thinking pioneers at work, participating in hands-on
workshops and panel discussions, and making lasting connections with peers and
