Progress in engineering systems is the result of the combined improvements of technology and design methods. It is often a cyclic process, stimulated by success and failure. When the innovation loop stalls in producing effective progress, a change in paradigm is needed. Many examples populate the history of science and engineering, as well as of mankind.
