Design engineer is a general term covering a range of engineering disciplines including electrical, mechanical design, industrial and civil engineering, architectural engineers in the United States and development engineers in the United Kingdom.The design engineer is distinguished from the designer / drafter by the fact that a design engineer take care of the overall system as well as internal / engineering design. While industrial designers will be responsible for the aesthetic and ergonomic aspects of conceptual design, design engineers typically works with a team of engineers and designers to develop designs, conceptual and Detailed initial and most critical part. They can work with industrial designers and marketing to develop product concepts and specifications, and they can direct the design effort from that point. These products are usually designed with input from several sources such as marketing, manufacturing, purchasing, tool making and packaging techniques. In addition to dealing with system design engineers and scientific technology is more complex (aircraft, spacecraft, Rockets, trains, ships, dams, bridges, building structure, urban infrastructure, machines, production systems, propulsion systems, oil, gas, and mining exploration systems, manufacturing process, military systems, cars, electronics, computers, power systems - nuclear, fossil, wind, marine, and power distribution system). In many areas of engineering, distinction is made between design engineers and planning engineers in the design.Planning engineers are more concerned with designing at the system level is more engineering, and overlap in the operational phase is often required. Design engineers, by contrast, is more concerned with designing a specific new product or system.Evaluation is important for planning engineers, while the synthesis is essential for design engineers. When the design involves public safety, the design engineer is usually required for a license, for example a Professional Engineer in the U.S. and Canada. Often there is an 'industrial exemption' for design engineers working on internal projects for the company and do not provide professional services directly to the public.
