Design is an integral part of manufacturing addressing issues ranging from its philosophical roots, through design theory and methodology, digital design support techniques and tools, to engineering design practice. These issues typically include:

• Principles, methodologies, techniques, creativity, organisation, processes and quality aspects of designing components, products, machines, manufacturing systems, product-service systems, and socio-technical systems.
• Advanced digital methods for design (such as modelling, simulation, optimisation, and decision making) including digital foundations and digital platforms such as: Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) systems with particular interests in AR/MR/VR (Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality /Virtual Reality) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) techniques, Computer Aided Tolerancing, Digital Twins, and Model-Based Systems Engineering.
• Engineering and modelling techniques and tools for advanced manufacturing systems and processes such as additive and hybrid manufacturing as well as methods for manufacturing system design.
• Tools and methods for efficient and effective engineering design for X practices such as sustainability and resilience, as well as engineering design education and training.
