Design pertains to the conceptualization and planning of engineering solutions. The fundamental distinction between humans and animals lies in humanity′s capacity for creative thinking, designing and manufacturing tools, as well as developing and applying complex linguistic cultures and technological innovation capabilities throughout labor processes. Design evolves alongside the progress of human civilization, requiring knowledge, materials, tools, computation, experimentation, and manufacturing, while simultaneously transforming and advancing design philosophies and methodologies. Each stage of design relies on certain core scientific foundations, key technologies, and mathematical computation methods. Innovative design is boundless, continuously advancing with the progress of human society, with its development trends and direction being unequivocal: digitization, networking, greening, and intelligent sustainable development. While design innovation is limitless, Earth's resources are finite. Thus, designers must adhere to the laws of scientific development, respect nature, ethics, market economy, and the heritage of human civilization. They must uphold principles of fairness, justice, and transparency, abide by professional ethics of honesty and integrity, persist in deepening reform and opening-up, actively assimilate scientific achievements and advanced design concepts and methods created by nations and peoples worldwide, and innovate to develop “excellent Chinese designs”. This will lead and comprehensively advance modernization in the new era, making continuous new contributions toward realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
