Design Science is a catalyst for groundbreaking ideas, transformative experiences, new solutions, structured knowledge and innovative use. It is an interdisciplinary domain that focuses on the development and application of scientific methods to designing systems and processes. It combines elements of mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, bioengineering, manufacturing processes, sensors, computing, automation and control. Design science plays a pivotal role in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and driving innovation in product design, ultimately contributing to enhancing the quality of life. 2025 3rd International Conference on Design Science (ICDS 2025), sponsored and organized by the School of Mechanical Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, will focus on the new directions and achievements of design science, especially when new technologies such as big data, digital twin, and AI are emerging.

3rd International Conference on Design Science (ICDS) is technically sponsored by IEEE. The proceedings of the conference will be submitted for inclusion in prestigious databases such as Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Ei Compendex, DBLP, Google Scholar, and many others.
