Design engineering and product design can overlap, but they often emphasize different technical questions. Design engineering typically focuses on engineering requirements, calculations, loads, tolerances, material selection, component interfaces, design margins, and verification of technical performance. Product design may address the broader development and configuration of a finished product, including how functional, manufacturing, usability, and other product-level requirements were incorporated. The appropriate expertise depends on whether the dispute centers on specific engineering decisions and calculations or on the broader design and development of the product.
Yes. A design engineering expert can compare drawings, calculations, test results, specifications, and other design records with identified technical standards, project requirements, internal criteria, and other engineering requirements relevant to the dispute. The analysis may identify departures, inconsistencies, or assumptions that affected the design. Determining which standard or edition legally governs, and the legal significance of any departure, is separate from the technical engineering comparison.
Yes. A proposed alternative design can be evaluated for technical feasibility, expected performance, dimensional constraints, material requirements, loads, manufacturability, and effects on other components or systems. The analysis may also consider whether the alternative was technically practical using information and technology available at the relevant time. The expert can address the engineering merits and limitations of the alternative without making the ultimate legal determination about its significance.
