By "qualified professionals" should we assume you mean qualified for
these "'inventive' positions"? What does "general level" mean here? You
seem to say that these skills are generally not needed but not having
them diminishes some (generally-unneeded?) quality.
I am assuming that "design school curriculum" in this discussion means
engineering design school curriculum.
