Engineering Optimization[1][2] is the subject which uses optimization techniques to achieve design goals in engineering.[3]

It is also called design optimization. Its topics include structural design (e.g., pressure vessel design, welded beam design), shape optimization, topological optimization (e.g., airfoil), inverse optimization, processing planning, and product designs and others.
