A brief history of Smart Product Design at
Stanford
1978 Smart Product Design launched by Larry
Leifer 1980 Expanded to 2-quarter sequence with
extendedprojects 1987 Major revision to
accommodate new microprocessorand software
development technologies extended to 3 quarters
1994 218d added (corporate-sponsored projects
for218abc alumni) 1994 1-quarter mezzanine
version created 2001 EE/CS version created and
taught for first time 2004 Ground-up redesign
(from smart products toubiquitous
intelligence?) -- thanks to AIM!

Status (Spring 04)

• Extensive meetings among 218 staff and advisory
  board (mostly alumni in industry).
• 218a extensively overhauled new platform,
  content, schedule
• 218bc overhauls in process
• (218c distance taught from Berlin)
