Abstract The advance of information technologies has provided various advantages, such as the efficient exchange of technical information. At the same time, negative effects are reported such as a lack of face-to-face communication and in some cases failure to transmit core know-how, which is not fed back by such information technology tools. In product development as well, information technologies, for example computer-aided engineering and computer simulations, contribute to improving effi ciency. I would like to quote some examples in current EPS (electric power steering) development and in that respect discuss "pleasant designing work" with computer simulation. At the same time, "interesting" development procedures for engineers should be reconsidered.
