Abstract
Beginning in the 19th century, Engineering Design (E.D) and Industrial Design (I.D) have started its division of labor. In the 20th century, each field continued to develop and began its specialization. Due to the division and specialization of each field, artifacts have become large and complex in recent years, causing countless environmental issues and man made disasters. In addition, it has become difficult to solve these problems with a single field. One way to solve these problems are the unification of both E.D and I.D. Though, there are only few research comparing and analyzing both fields from an integrated point of view. Thus, in this research, a comparative analysis of E.D and I.D is done from an integrated point of view using the M model. Based on the M model, weather each research paper deals with the objects value space, meaning space, state space, circumstance, and attribute space are analyzed. As a result of the analysis, E.D showed a high ratio in the attribute space, state space, and circumstance, and a low ratio in value and meaning. On the other hand, the ratio of dealing with attribute and meaning space is high in the field of I.D, and the ratio of dealing with value, state, and circumstance is low. Furthermore, by comparing both fields of research, it showed a complementary relation in the point of meaning, state, and circumstance.
