Special Issue on Sustainable Design: Submission deadline extended

Submissions will continue to be considered for this special issue until we meet the issue page limit. Any submissions after the page limit is met will be considered for a regular issue and the authors will be so notified. For further details on the special issue, please see below.

The ASME Journal of Mechanical Design solicits submissions for a special issue on sustainable design, including design of devices, design theory, decision making methods, life cycle product design, market and regulatory factors, computer-aided sustainable engineering methods and models, metrics for sustainable design; uncertainty issues in evaluation of sustainable design, design and policy implications, cost, environmental and social impact. Relevant application areas include energy, water, buildings, industrial processes, and transportation. We will consider also a small number of high quality papers in sustainable engineering education including incorporation of sustainable design in engineering curricula.
