The ideas presented in earlier posts on Future Testing (excerpted from Replacing Problem-Solving with Future Testing) can be applied to the discipline of engineering.

Future Testing for Engineering Firms

Traditionally, engineering firms review the architect’s conceptual designs and independently develop their engineering drawings. This is a wasteful step, which duplicates work and can misinterpret the architect’s intent. This disconnect between the designs also makes it incredibly difficult to test new ideas or incorporate changes from the architect.

It provides the ability for all stakeholders to collaborate on and visualize a virtual mockup of the project from start to completion in digital form, improving speed and building trust that the desired outcomes will be met.
