How does ID differ from Engineering?
A – Although these two professions are often grouped together, they are, in fact, quite distinct from each other. Industrial design is a process that seeks to resolve the visual, usability and production issues of a product while engineering is a process that seeks to resolve the functionality issues of that product. Both require a thorough understanding of technological processes in order to achieve their goals, however each provides a unique, and necessary, perspective on the product development process.
