Some engineers feel that Engineers and designers have been degraded into glorified CAD people. It is all about money and cost control now, [not] design engineering.

I have noticed that innovation takes a back seat in many Indian manufacturing industries as well. The product design teams appear to be a demotivated lot.

What is the opinion of CEans and what can be done to change this or whether it should be changed at all?
