I think the culture is changing abeit at a very slow rate. Look at television. Here are the shows we have now that relate to engineering, building, and technology:
Monster Garage
Junkyard Wars
Extreme Engineering
Robot Rivals
Monster House(Im pushing it a whee bit but it still relates to the design process and planning things out)
Modern Marvels
Dare I say... Battlebots?
People watch for the carnage, but I think everyone still enjoys learning about the different robots and how they were designed and built. Battlebots IS a design competition. Viewers all across the country learn to appreciate an elegant design.

*shrug*
Just a different perspective to look at.
