It's dynamic, attracting new people, ideas, and energy by virtue of its own growing track record. The newest comers extend the story, and that's why students have always been an essential ingredient of this climate. For students in the manufacturing program, the entrepreneurial climate surrounding Stanford adds an unmistakable buzz of excitement to their education. Where Students Are Partners in the Enterprise Stanford provides real leadership opportunities for students. Students plan and execute major global manufacturing conferences, meetings that have grown to attract distinguished industry CEOs and managers as speakers and participants.
Students also mingle with industry leaders in classes.
Classes regularly invite successful managers to share views on how their companies are planning, prototyping, or handling the supply chain. The examples may be drawn from semiconductors, computers, automotive components, farm machinery,pharmaceuticals, electric motors, apparel, and consumer products. The issues are fresh, the communication informal, two-way, professional. Back to top Building Tomorrow's Academic Industrial Partnerships Stanford also offers master's students a unique opportunity to meet, network with, and work alongside manufacturing PhD students - experienced industry professionals who soon will be establishing new programs of manufacturing research and education at U.S. universities. PhD students in the Future Professors of Manufacturing program bring insight from a broad range of industries to Stanford's manufacturing classrooms and labs.
