Foundry School Seminar (ENGR 294)

1 credits · Undergraduate

Go inside the decisions shaping the future of manufacturing. Through ten live Tuesday sessions at Stanford and additional recorded sessions from collaborating universities, students hear directly from industry, government, and university leaders working to turn technological possibility into industrial capability.nnDiscussions examine how companies move from prototype to production, deploy robotics and AI, manufacture life-changing medicines, achieve extraordinary precision, and build resilient supply chains.nStudents explore the decisions behind these achievements: where to invest, how to develop talent, when to scale, and how to navigate uncertainty in technology and global markets.nnThe seminar offers a practical introduction to the intersection of engineering, business, and policy - and a window into careers in entrepreneurship, advanced manufacturing, and technology leadership. Students from all disciplines are welcome. The seminar may be taken independently; credit is based on attendance, with no separate written assignments or team project.
