The technology applied in design studies varies from basic theories to more application-based systems. Intelligent engineering also plays a significant role in design sciences such as computer-aided industrial design, human factor design, and greenhouse design, and these intelligence engineering technologies also include topics from both theoretic and application perspectives, such as computational technologies, sensing technologies and video detection. The annual International Symposium on Design Studies and Intelligence Engineering (DSIE) aims to promote cooperation between organizations and researchers in these fields, invite renowned professors from around the world to speak on these topics in greater depth, and allow for the in-depth discussion of technical presentations with the presenters.

A total of 189 submissions were reviewed for this collection of papers on design studies and intelligent engineering. The conference chairs selected papers based on the scores given by three or four referees, after which 62 papers were accepted for publication in this issue. The 2022 International Symposium on Design Studies and Intelligence Engineering (DSIE2022) was held in Hangzhou, China on October 29–30, 2022, and provided a platform for all professionals and researchers from industry and academia to present and discuss recent advances in the field of design studies and intelligence engineering. DSIE 2022 was sponsored by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University and co-sponsored by the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society-Industrial Design, the Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, Techno India College of Technology, and Tanta University.

We would like to thank all contributors for their efforts in submitting their manuscripts on time. We would also like to express our gratitude to the reviewers for their support, and acknowledge their contribution to the timely completion of this volume.
