I think the main issue is not so much the technical skills, but the communication aspect of it. Remember reciently there was a media expose on doctors with poor bed side manners? The issue is very similar here. Lets hope as time goes on this gap can be bridged. I’m in agreement with you, and unfortunatly we are in the minority.

The engineering education in NUS and NTU are also changing to gear towards design. In Mechanical engineering in NUS, one new specialisation newly launched is Product Design which studies human factors engineering, asthetics factors, ergnomics etc. Also, digital interactive media which includes animation looks pretty hot... But, guess for BMW studio in singapore, we need a Singaporean-made Chris Bangle. I think it is possible to turn Singapore into a product design hub but it will take time.
