This sparked my interest, since I could hardly disagree more with such a statement. There is obviously firm consent among engineers about the meaning of the engineering method, which, briefly speaking, relies on an engineering process composed of natural phases to develop a product, that is, from product requirements specifications, to design, to implementation and testing, although there may be many variations.
