Declaring a PD Major

Here are the steps you need to take to declare a major in Product Design*:

1. Print a copy of your transcript from Axess.

2. Download and complete the program sheet from the School of Engineering web site at http://ughb.stanford.edu. If you need instructions on how to download, consult the School of Engineering Student Affairs Office in Terman 201. Please note: when completing the sheet, please include courses you plan to take as well as those you have already taken.

3. Pick up a Product Design major declaration form from the Student Services Office in Building 530.

4. Identify an undergraduate program advisor from the list on the back of the major declaration form. If you prefer, the Student Services Office will assign one for you.

5. Discuss the program with your advisor and have him/her approve the program sheet AND the declaration form.

6. Return completed documents to the ME Student Services Office

7. Login to Axess and formally declare your major. NOTE: Select “Engineering” as your major (NOT Mechanical Engineering), with a field in Product Design.

8. E-mail Indrani Gardella (indrani@stanford.edu) to let her know that you have declared your major so that she may approve it.

9. Obtain your undergraduate file from the UAC (or other department if changing your majors) and submit it to the Student Services Office.
