Line 1: The '''~~core~~engineering ~~principles of engineering~~method''' ~~are~~is a ~~set~~practical ofmethod ~~fundamental concepts, practices,~~for ~~and~~solving ~~guidelines~~problems that ~~underpin~~underpins the practice of [[engineering]] in all its various fields. It can be compared to the more well-known '''scientific method''', which exists to answer questions empirically. While there is no single definitive ~~list of core principles~~method that ~~are~~is ~~universally~~unanimously agreed upon, the following ~~list~~definition serves as a consensus baseline ~~that most engineers agree upon~~.~~{{Citation needed}}~~ {\| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;" \|- !

They identify the cause of the problem or the result of experimentation, but more importantly it primes an explanation of why this is likely to be. In engineering this lays out a path to solve the problem, and in science it lays out a path for experimentation. \|- \| <em><span style="color:green">Implementation</span></em>:<br>How could one implement a possible solution? \|\| <em><span style="color:green">Experimentation</span></em>:<br>How could one conduct an empirical experiment? \|- \|colspan="2"\| Upon completion, these questions lead to a result. If this result matches the defined prediction and justification, we may end here. If not, we need to repeat this and the previous step, revising our model and <em>iterating</em>. \|}
