Thanks Nap. I’ll look into the auto industry.
For what it’s worth, I was a physics major my first two years of college before switching to art, so I have a strong math and physics background (up to multivariable calculus, differential equations, and EMT). But I do see what you are saying (at least from the perspective of someone outside of the profession) about the increasing number of engineers in design roles and why that might the case. Based on that, do you think industrial design is evolving into an engineering profession?
