Features: The 21st century will be an era of rapid development in science, technology, and the economy. The world's science and technology and economy will be in an unprecedented era of development and fierce competition. As education, how can we adapt to the upcoming competitive landscape? How can we meet future challenges? These are serious questions that every educator must consider. Tracking cutting-edge disciplines and introducing timely new research findings in teaching is one of the very important methods to help students prepare for entering society and adapting to market competition. And this book is an indispensable professional course for engineering students to understand new methods in product design. This book is a new type of course introduced in the reform of engineering professional teaching in higher education institutions. It is an mandatory course for upper-level students, assuming they have completed courses such as "Fundamentals of Mechanical Design," "Computer-Aided Design," and "Computer-Aided Manufacturing." The major feature of this book is to introduce readers to the hot topics in modern design—green design, virtual design, and innovative design—enabling them to gain a relatively comprehensive understanding of the basic concepts, core content, new research findings, and technological applications in these three areas. As for other aspects of design involved in modern design, they are covered in some specialized courses.
