Programme
In the field of Advanced Engineering Design, innovative changes are reshaping our problem-solving approaches. This shift emphasizes the strategic integration of creativity with scientific precision and technological progress in design. To adapt to this transformation, the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) will host the 3rd International Symposium on Case Studies in Advanced Engineering Design (CSIAED 2024). The symposium will take place at the UNNC campus from November 22 to 24, 2024, aiming to promote the international exchange of cutting-edge research, foster collaboration among academia, industry, and government, and explore the integration of new materials, structural innovations, and intelligent systems into engineering practice.
UNNC demonstrates its commitment to excellence in research and development and its dedication to nurturing a global community of engineering design scholars and practitioners. The symposium is expected to make a significant impact on the field by showcasing state-of-the-art research, encouraging the adoption of innovative design methodologies, and stimulating interdisciplinary collaborations. Additionally, the symposium aligns with market demands for sustainable, efficient, and intelligent engineering solutions, leveraging UNNC’s strengths in research and industry collaboration.
