N2 - Trends in innovative product design and manufacture require a paradigm shift in traditional methodologies because they are becoming increasingly ineffective for applications built for sustainable futures. The well-known concept of sustainable development, which is based on sustained growth for environmental, economic and societal benefits, is brought into focus for highlighting the significance of product design and manufacture. The technological challenges posed by the need for implementing innovative design and manufacture call for a need for developing and implementing new educational and training programmes for next generation design and manufacturing engineers. We aim at tackling these challenges with a proposed new curriculum at five different levels. Perpetual material flow and multi life-cycle/multi-use self-healing materials, innovative product and process design and development are in the core of the proposed design for sustainability educational programmes.
