I'm a firm believer that engineers should spend some time as apprentices
making the things they aspire to design.

And repairing them also....

That is what my dad has said for years. He always wondered if the
engineer designing "X" ever actually had to repair it. When you have
to dissassemble an entire machine to access some medium/high wear item
it's frustrating. Particularly when you look at it and if the
designer would have made "this" little tweak it would be a simple job.

I have tried to keep that in mind as I have been in the design
environment.
