Ouch. That hurts.
Honestly, we (engineering designers in academia) are trying. My teaching
and research in design intentionally excludes all optimization. I see
relatively little work on optimization in our design curriculum generally
in Canada. I also see very little reported on optimization within The
Design Society and the Canadian Engineering Education Association.
Industry is a different matter.
But I hope that in a generation or two, our investments in education and
training will pay off.
