A brief history of Smart Product Design at Stanford

1978: Smart Product Design launched by Larry Leifer1980: Expanded to 2-quarter sequence with extended

projects1987: Major revision to accommodate new microprocessor

and software development technologies; extended to 3 quarters

1994: 218d added (corporate-sponsored projects for218abc alumni)

1994: 1-quarter “mezzanine” version created2001: EE/CS version created and taught for first time2004: Ground-up redesign (from “smart products” to

ubiquitous intelligence?) -- thanks to AIM!

Fig 1. Changes in Smart Product technologies between 1987 and 2003. With the evolution of new electronics andcomputing technologies, the content of a Smart Products curriculum also changes. Formerly major topics (e.g.Discrete Logic) are now less important in comparison to wireless communications and embedded real-timeoperating systems.

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)
