I think most engineers are pretty good at figuring out problems and coming up with solutions. I also think we are pretty good at improving existing designs to increase performance and functionality. However, there are some things engineers should not attempt under any circumstances! While most of us like to think that bracket, bearing, circuit, code, support, beam, shaft or anything else we design is beautiful and sleek, in reality it looks like crap to everyone else. Reading this article Mobius Motors back-to-basics SUV almost ready for Africa - Autoblog makes me think a group of engineers decided "We don't need some high priced, tight pants wearin', spiked hair with piercings everywhere, graduate of some artsy fartsy liberal arts college designing our trucks! We can make it beautiful to engineers! Forget form! Function rules! Yes, this is what I think our 4Runners would look like if only engineers designed it. Why do I think only engineers designed it? The dead give away is only one windshield wiper for the driver and none for the passenger. Yep, I would have done that myself.
