participation of engineers with theirproblem solving skills is crucial.How technology and culture affect each other therefore is not the issue here. They do, but it isimportant to pursue engineering design with the physical, intellectual, and cultural consequencesof the result in mind.Proposed Models for Design for CultureMany calls for Design for Culture have surfaced over the past few years. Ellsworth et.al.6proposed to introduce the Design for Culture as another design paradigm, DF(X). However theproposed paradigm is economically driven aiming at integrating certain cultural tastes in thedesign to realize products that can sell in a given cultural context. For example, to be able to sella refrigerator in Japan it must conform to certain size and

We broadly considerourselves problem solvers. We are responsible for many of the technological marvelsthat people use everyday, yet many people do not understand or appreciate theengineering profession. In fact, even prospective engineering students are often at a losswhen asked about what engineers do. Earlier, during their secondary education, they mayhave been enthused by what technology has to offer, but upon entering a university tostudy and ultimately learn how to practice engineering they are often unsure
