ME310A and ME310BC – Global Engineering Design Thinking, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship

The ME310 program is a global engineering design thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship program that brings together students from top engineering and design universities around the world. The program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to work on real-world projects, with a focus on developing innovative solutions to complex problems.

Program Structure

• Autumn (late September through mid-December): Laying the framework
• Winter and Spring (January through mid-June): International team-work, system realization

Project Time Frame

The project time frame is approximately 9 months, with proposals requested by June 10 and submissions through September 10 considered if there is an opening.

Fee

The fee for the ME310 program is $150,000, which includes prototyping materials and related expenses, including university infrastructure charges, teaching team stipends, laboratory services, travel, and computer resources for the academic year.
