What are Engineering Services?

Engineering services are those service functions that deal with or related to core engineering processes.

Examples are:

  • CAD / CAM (computer aided manufacturing / design)
  • Auto design
  • Failure analysis of structural steel

The distinction that needs to be drawn here is between engineering functions and engineering service functions. An engineering function could be auto engine manufacturing. A related engineering service function would be designing the engine. It is similar to the distinction between manufacturing and manufacturing support services.
