I disagree, engineering is how it works, design is about interaction between the user and tech-object. People nowadays tend to put too much emphasis on design vs. engineering, without design you have a bad working tech-object, without engineering you have no tech-object at all.

Don't think that I regard design as non important, I think both have their place in inventing and manufacturing.

On the flip side, without design, you have a technical product that doesn't solve a problem that the user has.

Design doesn't need engineering. Design can even (in the extreme case) be done to a process that requires no technology at all.
