Eduardo et al,
I'm not so sure about this. Within the engineering community,
(engineering) design was often seen as "just design" - often not much more
than a necessary evil to the general engineering enterprise. At least in
some quarters.
Thankfully, this is changing.
I'd say [design is engineering] like [surgery is medicine (writ large)].
It seems to me that at least part of this conversation is about naming
things - /this/ is design and /that/ isn't. Perhaps it's more important to
consider the concepts, processes, and knowledge that we group under that
label?
