I've wondered if engineering/CS undergrads should be forced to take a Design 101 class to learn:

  * design is everywhere
  * having a sense of taste is vital to anyone who makes things
  * end users are severely affected by every design decision you make

I run into too many engineers that try to disregard the subjective aspects of development (architecture/UX/etc) because they believe the only worthwhile things are the logical ones.
