Craig Milroy, MS ’81, MS ’82, director of the Product Realization Lab (PRL) and of undergraduate teaching labs in mechanical engineering. He has been a senior lecturer at Stanford University since 1992.
The PRL is a teaching facility where more than 1300 Stanford students learn design, manufacturing, and prototyping each year. Craig’s teaching focuses on product conceptualization and strategic planning during the design process. Previously, he was executive faculty of Stanford’s Biodesign program and taught Stanford’s first medical device design course.
Milroy came to Stanford from the Biomechanics Laboratories of the Department of Orthopedics, University of Iowa, where he helped develop an artificial hip replacement, and analyzed knee and wrist patho-mechanics. He has done considerable engineering consulting including Visa International, Atari, and Fakespace, and holds 16 patents in medical devices, telecommunications, and consumer products. He has founded four medical device companies; products he designed have sold in the millions.
