Don,
I worked as a design engineer and then transitioned to system
engineering/project management. In those latter days, I would receive a
requirement set from which I needed to make sense. I also had budgetary
issues that were built in, more requirements than money. And, there
might have been other conflicts. So, I know what e had to do, maximize
the number of requirements satisfied with in the set.
Yes. We engineers were pretty well trained, but when making
decisions on what had to go or be included it wasn't always a 2+2 = 4
which is precise. Mathematicians are precise and there may be only
answer to the equation, but that wasn't the world I was living in; I
could have many different solutions based on the requirements. This is
the point I was trying to make.

Barry,
Well, when I was with IBM, my title was Engineer/Scientist, so I got credit for
both.
Engineers have the education and training to do research as well as making
those judgements during design that sometimes result in compromises.

I strongly disagree. How many compromises were made to pull this off. You may
use the laws of physics and math to design something, but unlike physics or
math, engineering is not as precise. that means there are judgment calls made
by design engineers. Physicists make judgemet call also, but only in data
interpretation and not design. Sorry you couldn't be more wrong.
