Right.
I was referring not to engineering as research but research *in*
engineering, as opposed to research *in* design. Even in those cases,
I think there are different systematizations.

We can talk about research assistants and mean that they are conducting the work of the lab/clinic/workshop/studio but not doing research. This doesn't stop them from assisting but if they start making research decisions (exceeding the protocols) then they are invading (entering) the realm of research. Of course we can ask them to do this which is some of what happens in the training (induction) process of being a PhD candidate.
