The document announces the 6th International Workshop on Design in Civil and Environmental Engineering to be held November 9-11, 2017 in Cagliari, Italy. The workshop will explore the nature of design in civil and environmental engineering and establish the foundation for civil design research. Topics will include design methodology, structure, systems, surveying, life cycle assessment, environmental engineering, design education, and more. Authors are invited to submit original research papers, case studies, and essays by July 30th. The workshop aims to bring together designers, educators, and researchers to discuss challenges and opportunities in engineering design.

- 1. 6th International Workshop on Design in Civil and Environmental Engineering November 9 - 10, 11, 2017 University of Cagliari ██ Introduction Design means to analyze, compare, manage and connect a large amount of data in order to develop, expand and materialize the starting idea, which was born to solve the initial problem. In this process, the engineer is the bridge of connection between the creative moment and its real implementation. The evolutionary characteristic of the design procedure often requires an iterative approach. It improves the solution step by step by means of different professional figures who act together to obtain the best result. Indeed, it is never an individual task but a team job in which collaboration is the most powerful key of success. In this complex reality, the potential of modern technology highlights the needs of a strong background knowledge capable of supporting and developing the engineering sensibility to control the whole design procedure. Actually, its dynamic evolution, constantly pushed by the new science innovations, represents a current challenge for engineering schools. They have to find the most effective way to transmit the necessary skills to nowadays students to let them become the future bridge of connection for new engineering solutions. The Design in Civil and Environmental Engineering (DCEE) series of workshops explore what it would mean for design to be a discipline within Civil and Environmental Engineering and the implication for interdisciplinary design in corporation with other fields such as Architecture, Urban Planning, Topography and more. We are pleased to invite you in Cagliari (Italy – Sardinia) to the 6th International Workshop on Design for Civil and Environmental Engineering where we will explore the nature of design in civil and environmental engineering and establish the foundation for civil design research. ██ Call for Papers You are cordially invited to submit a paper for the 6th International Workshop on Design in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Original research papers, educational and professional case studies, and editorial essays are all welcome. Papers must be original, unpublished, and written in English. Abstracts and papers will be reviewed by the International Advisory Committee. Authors will be notified of the results via e-mail. The abstracts should be written in English and must not exceed 250 words. Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail as PDF files to: [email protected] Peer-review accepted papers will be published in the DCEE 2017 Proceedings and will also be available in electronic form, with a proper DOI. The most valuable articles will be selected and recommended for publication, in the extended form, in Special Issues of highly reputable journals, such as Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management and International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present the paper. ██ Topics include but are not limited to: Design methodology - Need of Integration and interdisciplinarity - Philosophy & Aesthetics - Form finding/Parametric Design, Optimization - Influence from other sciences (e.g. biology, neuroscience) - Interdisciplinary challenges in engineering design Structure (Heritage structures, Civil/structural, new materials) - Systems (Indoor climate/energy, District and urban scale, Resilience, Energy Harvesting) - Surveying (Drones, metrology, photogrammetry) - Life Cycle Assessment in engineering design - Environmental Engineering (Flood risk and climate change design challenges) - Construction Management and Building Information Modelling Design education in engineering design - Computer aided design (numerical models for analysis) - Balance between general and specific competence - Education to integrated design - On line vs offline teaching - Modern technologies for teaching
