Go back to the cup-with-a-handle thing. The shapes of the cup and handle
are a design thing that includes utility and feasibility. Ie, can you fit
your fingers in the handle without burning them, will the handle break, is
drinking from such a cup easy for the drinker, etc., etc. The designer
must, indeed, know certain things about cup construction. However, exactly
how these goals are achieved at the fundamental level (-is the ceramic
strong enough and watertight and amenable to mass production precesses,
etc.) is engineering.
