Some of my mechanical engineering friends think of working at LEGO the way others think of working at Space X or NASA. I’m pretty sure all of those models have run through finite element analysis.

Stupidly tight tolerances, tons of computer analysis, modular parts and making things out of plastic are a fresh out of school ME's wet dream.
It takes age and experience to develop a taste for making things that are loose and cheap but through creativity of design still somehow manage to do the job.
