The Journal of Engineering Design is a leading international publication that provides an essential forum for dialogue on important issues across all disciplines and aspects of the design of engineered products and systems. The Journal publishes pioneering, contemporary, best industrial practice as well as authoritative research, studies and review papers on the underlying principles of design, its management, practice, techniques and methodologies, rather than specific domain applications.
We welcome papers that examine the following topics:
- Engineering design aesthetics, style and form
- Big data analytics in engineering design
- Collaborative design in engineering
- Engineering concept design
- Creativity and innovation in engineering
- Engineering design architectures
- Design costing in engineering
- Design education and pedagogy in engineering
- Engineering design for X, e.g. manufacturability, assembly, environment, sustainability
- Engineering design management
- Design risk and uncertainty in engineering
- Engineering design theory and methodology
- Designing product platforms, modularity and reuse in engineering
- Emotive design, e.g. Kansei engineering
- Ergonomics, styling and the design process
- Evolutionary design activity in engineering (product improvement & refinement)
- Global and distributed engineering design
- Inclusive design and assistive engineering technology
- Engineering industrial design and total design
- Integrated engineering design development
- Knowledge and information management in engineering
- Engineering maintainability, sustainability, safety and standards
- Multi, inter and trans disciplinary engineering design
- New engineering product design and development
- Engineering product introduction process
- Product quality management, improvement and standardisation
- Quality, reliability, robustness and uncertainty in engineering
- Engineering service design and design services
- State-of-the-art engineering reviews
- Engineering systems design and design complexity
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous double blind peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees. Submissions can take the form of quality original research contributions as well as book reviews from all the major disciplines of engineering design.
