Ex­plo­ra­tory Engineering

TagLast edit: 3 Oct 2020 15:52 UTC by Swimmer963 (Miranda Dixon-Luinenburg)

Exploratory engineering is a process for understanding a subset of the potential capabilities of future levels of technology. This process resembles the first phase of standard design engineering (termed conceptual engineering, or conceptual design), but it serves a different purpose:

Exploratory engineering allows to show how some capabilities that intuitively seem absurd may actually be achieved in the future.
