Product Design & Engineering (PDE) aims to define new and/or improved products based on customer needs and/or new technologies. A comprehensive discussion of PDE as a building block for chemical engineering education, research and practice seems still lacking, preventing a broader impact on academic and industry realities more and more concerned with the ‘knowledge economy’. The purpose of the present current opinion paper was to contribute to the mitigation of this gap by presenting the results the EFCE Section Group PDE survey based on PDE academia and industry expert and practitioner feedback as well as on a literature review. The paper discusses PDE status and challenges as well as maps academic and industry requirements, unmet needs and perspectives for the product manufacturing in the framework of Industry 4.0.
