Engineering is the process of applying technical knowledge to solve practical problems. Engineers add value to a product by improving its performance and reliability, making it safer, and reducing its cost.

Design is the process of adding value to materials by giving them a useful or visually pleasing form. Designers add value to a product by making it more beneficial and desirable to customers. They can also make a product easier to use or adapt it to appeal to a different market segment.

The differences that make a product more successful than its competitors are almost always due to superior engineering and design. A small investment in these services at the beginning of a project can add a lot of value to a product and make it far more profitable later.
