Complaint

~~The Design Science section seems to be an anomaly in an otherwise sound article.~~Matt Whyndham 11:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sound perhaps, but with run-on sentences and some weird wording, like the use of "bring" in the first paragraph. Not quite English. 80.228.160.21 06:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC) Yah its all wrong dude[reply]

This is supposed to be a job description of a design engineer, NOT a book report ! Shall be done point wise at-least. Attempted to at least organize this, but this is hardly an accurate/complete description of a design engineer. It gives many examples, but fails to abstract to a more general description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctlucca (talk • contribs) 17:29, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact the article so far only describes a small subset of design engineers - those working for product design/development. In infrastructural engineering where there will only be one example built for each design, the whole thing does not make sense. The design engineer himself/herself in infrastructure design does the design projects that is complex in technical nature in addition to wider/new/potentially serious environmental, social and legal repercussions. For example, designing a complex bridge needs an engineer to do it. But for most of the more routine smaller work like planning new electrical cables to particular new homes in new subdivisions, normally the engineer will delegate most of the work to someone perhaps engineering technicians (who may still be highly qualified with an associate degree or with years of on the job training experience, but no engineer), while retaining the supervisor role. --JNZ (talk) 07:09, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

including, but not limited to

"Including, but not limited to" is lawyer-speak and is unnecessary since "including" implies additional items already. --Unimath (talk) 16:21, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CAD Master

The text on the "CAD Master" is unsourced; I cannot find any information anywhere that describes this job. It is only slightly related to the article topic, as it does not claim that the Master is a design engineer but rather is a high-level CAD person. If the position exists, maybe it deserves its own article or should be part of a CAD operator article rather than design engineer.LizardJr8 (talk) 21:45, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Design changes during life cycle

Added some considerations about the more and more frequently observed need to consistently change the design during life cycle of a product due to required cost reductions and or mandatory compliance with updated regulations, involving crescent collaboration with manufacturing engineering and compliance staff.Corrado72 (talk) 07:42, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
