The Smart Product Design Lab supports the Smart Product Design sequences ( ME118 and ME218 A,B,C & D ) at Stanford University. Smart Products are products whose functionality is increased by an embedded microprocessor. It is a superset of the field that has become known as Mechatronics. Embedded microprocessors can already be found in everything from dishwashers to automobiles—and more Smart Products appear every day.
The labs are the site of the hands-on learning which characterizes the Smart Product Design / Mechatronics courses at Stanford. Each lab is supported by an array of PC based workstations including 8-, 16-, and 32-bit microprocessors which are embedded into student projects. Equipment for the labs has been donated by corporate sponsors such as National Semiconductor, Motorola, Microchip Technology, Maxon Motors, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel.
