Abstract
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) looms large on the horizon. It is characterised by the fusion of cyber, physical, and human realms, with the heart of it powered by artificial general intelligence (AGI). This revolution brings profound economic, societal, and ethical implications for humanity. Addressing its intricate challenges necessitates a shift toward higher-order and higher-dimensional empathy and creativity for humanity-centred design innovations. Traditional design thinking and methodologies, while once effective, now fall short amidst the complexities of the 4IR. Future designers must adeptly wield creative artificial intelligence for humanity-centred design and execute robust entrepreneurship and leadership to ensure a human-led design process towards the future.
期刊介绍:
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[...]
