Yes, that's funny. I've been an engineer and for many years (28+) I
did see how we designed and developed UI's, some were pretty bad, and
some pretty decent. Often we accused of putting everything and the
kitchen sink in the UI, cause that's what we as engineers would want.
Then I started using the Mac UI's, reading books on usability and UI
design, simplicity, etc. I started working with some folks who majored
in HF and HCI. That was my start into this field. Now I try to take
more of the user advocate role in any designs. Still am quite low on
the learning curve, but progressing forward.

Yes, he seems to be thinking differently now ... in Cooper's keynote
at Interaction08, he talks about engineers as fellow craftsmen.
Ben Galbraith has a good summary in his blog post:

It is a good book, although I think he goes a bit overboard
against engineers IMHO.

He (Alan Cooper) talks about his IFE design in 'The Inmates are
Running the Asylum', so I recommend picking up that book and
paging
through that section.

You should have a look at Air New Zealand's in flight
entertainment
system. It was designed by Al Cooper, I believe. Is very
usable and
is a great example of IxD.
