Special Issue: Manufacturing Science Engineering Conference 2022

Abstract

The 17th ASME International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC 2022), sponsored by the Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) of ASME, was held from June 27, 2022 to July 1, 2022, in West Lafayette, IN. MSEC 2022 received 263 submissions. After rigorous peer review, 229 technical papers were accepted for publication. The technical papers had global representation, with authors from the US (56%), India (13%), China (11%), Korea (4%), Japan (3%), Canada (3%), Germany (2%), and several other countries from Asia, Europe, and South America. Among the accepted technical papers, MSEC symposium organizers nominated 56 candidate papers to be fast-tracked to the ASME Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering (JMSE). All the candidate papers, together with their reviews, were sent to the JMSE Editor-in-Chief for a new round of journal paper review. The JMSE Editor-in-Chief invited 21 papers, including two state-of-the-art review papers, to be further reviewed by the journal. A total of 15 top MSEC papers received positive journal reviews and were compiled and published in this JMSE Special Issue on MSEC 2022.
