Design Vs Engineering
It's has been more than 12 years and now when we solve everyday problems then I realized the difference between design and engineering. I completed my electric engineering in 2003 and finished my Product Design in 2008. Now I can clearly compare both the sides of this coin when life is in full swing.
Engineering made me learn how to copy things and close the chapters where as design made me learn how to innovate things and systems to open new chapters.
Engineering was like a vertical stick where we had to go in vertical direction whereas design is like a tree which pushes you on top, bottom and in multi dimensions.
Engineering we used to do formalities to finish up our assignments where as design made us fall in love with products, graphics and ideas.
Engineering used to be taught like spoon feeding and design was like taking the challenge where professors used to leave us in a high density thought galaxy and we had to manufacture our own spoon and Cerelac.
Engineering made us learn to score marks else you will fail, though the real learning happened or not does not matter, people will see your marks and will evaluate based on your mark sheet whereas in Design no one is interested to see our marks and Grades. They look your ideas and it's potential.
In engineering professors used to lead our life whereas in design we used to lead our life, thoughts and ideas... and that was the real time challenge.
In engineering professors used to prove the derivations and we used to sit on the benches but in design we used to stand opposite side of the benches to prove our ideas, processes and derivations and professors used to sit on benches.
In engineering life was 10.00 A.M to 5.00 P.M then go back to home, but in design life used to start after 5.00 P.M. And stretch your self to capture the world from wide angel lenses, there is no limit.
In engineering we only had to learn about our subject but in design we had to go beyond the subject and get new experiences which is not your subject at all but you have to know about that.
In engineering we had never touched the giant dinosaur problems and not able to have that daring but in design we were pushed to touch the snakes and we actually experienced them in our hands.
Engineering used to tell me..... you may get good opportunities based on your marks and degree but design told me you will never get job and projects based on your marks.... And it accelerated my thinking and exploded my energy to create opportunities not only for me but also for people around me.
Being an engineer I was searching job for me but being a designer I could get confidence how I can create work to sustain.
In engineering there was one answer of a problem but in design there were 100 answers of a problem.
My intention is not to de motivate engineers but it is my experience with both the disciplines.
Cheers.
