Specifications
Design specifications are critical to the success of any engineering project. They specify the criteria, regarding both form and function, that the final solution must meet, and therefore are essential to the generation of potential design solutions. If a potential solution does not meet the criteria, it cannot be considered a viable solution. Design specifications also determine how the solution will be tested. Testing is critical to establishing if a solution is truly effective.
