Engineering plays an important role in shaping the lives of people everywhere, and the improvement of product design is a constant aspiration. Transdisciplinary engineering (TE) is an approach that extends and evolves the initial concepts and practice known as Concurrent Engineering (CE), and which has matured to become the foundation of many new ideas, methodologies, initiatives, approaches and tools. TE methods involve the integration of two of more disciplines into a process that combines them with the aim of achieving a common goal.
This book presents the proceedings of TE2024, the 31st ISTE International Conference on Transdisciplinary Engineering, held from 9 to11July 2024 in London, UK. The conference brought together more than 100 participants, and offered an international forum for academics and industry professionals worldwide to explore how engineering design and manufacturing processes can be turned towards improvements that will benefit society and the environment. In total, 144 papers were submitted for the conference, of which 102 were selected for presentation and publication after a thorough peer review process, representing an acceptance rate of 71%. These are divided into 25 sections, each containing 4 or 5 papers and covering areas including sustainable development and transport; engineering for social change; virtual reality; green transitions; digital twins; and several aspects of TE related to industry and business.
The book offers a wide-ranging overview of the ways in which transdisciplinary engineering can contribute to making engineering more sustainable, fairer and more inclusive, and will be of interest to all those working in the field.
