Erik and I form part of the organising committee for the International Conference on Engineering & Product Design Education (E&PDE) and I have selected six papers from the 19th E&PDE Conference, held in September 2017 at the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Science. 160 delegates from over 25 countries presented 117 papers, including 16 from students, on the theme of Building Community: Design Education for a Sustainable Future and the papers that I have chosen to represent a broad cross-section of those, covering a range of topics of interest to those engaged in design education, and they all provoked much debate and discussion. The papers presented here have been expanded and updated to take into account feedback received from other delegates at the E&PDE conference. The E&PDE annual conference series started in 2000 and is organised jointly by the Design Education Special Interest Group (DESIG) of the Design Society and the Institution of Engineering Designers. E&PDE 2018 will be held in the new Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial College, London, and is being jointly organised with the Royal College of Art, London with the theme of Design Education: Diversity or Conformity? The conference series stays in the UK next year with E&PDE 2019 Towards a New Innovation Landscape being hosted by the Department of Design, Manufacture and Engineering Management, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The theme of building communities and sustainable futures inspired many of the authors, and the first three papers that I have chosen reflect this desire for new design thinking and new ways of working to build better solutions for all users. It is clear that many of the authors were inspired by the theme of Design Education: Collaboration and Cross-disciplinarity from the E&PDE 2016 Conference in Aalborg University, Denmark, with many examples of papers from mixed discipline teams or from academics working alongside colleagues from industry or NGOs. The final three papers that I have chosen discuss how colleagues have worked with others from different teams within their universities or from external organisations to bring valuable new insights into their education environments. Anne Britt Torkildsby (The Norwegian Research Laboratory for Universal Design, NTUT Norwegian University of Science and Technology) discusses her development of a critical design method in Critical Design in Universal Design Settings – Pedagogy Turned Upside Down. This method has been conceived as a way for students to explore immersion in extreme environments such as hospitals Page | 3 and prisons, and to consider the wellbeing of users in these situations. By adapting this method to universal design problems, she hopes to develop future designers that approach designing for all users in new and novel ways. Turning traditional universal design processes upside down, her method asks what it means to design for fundamental human needs. Her design method is a 3-step approach developed through 8 workshops in
