👉 Cheaper engineering, or cost-effective engineering, refers to the practice of designing and building systems, structures, or products using materials, processes, and techniques that minimize costs without compromising on essential safety, performance, or quality standards. This approach often involves leveraging readily available and affordable materials, optimizing designs for efficiency, and utilizing simpler manufacturing processes. It may also include adopting innovative but less expensive technologies or methods that offer similar benefits at a lower price point. While cheaper engineering aims to reduce expenses, it still ensures that the final product meets necessary regulatory and functional requirements, balancing cost savings with practicality and reliability.
