When design ambition meets engineering reality, conflict is inevitable. This unit shows how to navigate those moments without dismissing creativity, feasibility, or the people caught between them.
Design and engineering don’t disagree because one side is wrong — they disagree because they’re protecting different kinds of risk. Designers guard intent and experience. Engineers guard safety, performance, and liability. This unit explores where those priorities collide, why the conversations get emotional fast, and how to move forward without reducing the discussion to “you’re being unrealistic” or “you’re killing the design.” If you’ve ever left one of these meetings frustrated, defensive, or unheard, this one is for you.
