  Membership in the Design Affiliates Program gives industrial representatives the opportunity for close association with the faculty and students in one of the nation's most highly regarded design education programs. An important part of the affiliate's role is to ensure that faculty and students are aware of industrial conditions and needs, keeping them current on present development and future plans via a constant exchange of theory and methodology.

  Stanford Automotive Affiliates Program | View »

  Stanford Automotive is an interdisciplinary research community at Stanford University. The vision of Stanford Automotive is that by creating a community of faculty and students from a range of disciplines at Stanford with leading industry researchers, we can radically re-envision the automobile for unprecedented levels of safety, performance, and enjoyment. Our mission is to discover, build, and deploy the critical ideas and innovations for the next generation of cars and drivers.  Through membership in the Stanford Automotive Affiliates Program, companies join the automotive community at Stanford. Membership funds will be used to enrich this community by providing support for an executive director, other administrative support, shared infrastructure for research and teaching, student project teams, and new educational initiatives.
