My first initial is not D, but the original Vander Krowd did father many of my ideas. Also, thanks for expanding on “abstraction” and “synthesis”.
Well, I definitely wouldn’t call engineering a science. The point that I want to make is that the process of engineering design includes more than science and is not under the umbrella of science. I would like to challenge engineers to use more than science to formulate problem statements, define product specifications, and evaluate design alternatives. Maybe the arts, our feelings, or the Word of God should have more influence in the design process. There has to be a source of wisdom contributing to the development of technology.
