Do-It-Yourself culture prevalent in the US and the West, but still needs to improve in India. Situation is better today, with many college kids building Robots, Go-Karts, etc
. I think that Design Skills needs time to be built up, that is why Indian Engineering is still an enigma, especially wrt original work.
Probably, India can do very well in Application Engineering - the Marketing Department captures the Customer Requirements, while Engineering puts together the product taking components from an existing parts bin.Testing of product for intended use takes place (short duration - matter of months at most). Documentation is done and shared , if required, with Service Centers, Customers, Marketing, etc.Here, Engineers will learn about system requirements, creation of specifications and drawings, test protocols, localisation, value engineering, reliability and life cycle analysis, etc. These will be useful when we start work on original design. I think China was at this stage in the 1980s, for automobiles.Weapons engineering, maybe the 1950s and 1960s. They learned lots from the Soviets, too. Today, their weapon systems (China's) are quite contemporary, with Fly-by-wire Aircraft and CIWS Weapons Systems being exported.
