Keywords* for our Services
Clients sometimes seek Engineering Talent by "keywords and phrases",
so we've drawn together this list from our projects and experience.
If a term appears here, we've got some ability, knowlege or experience with it.
You can use your browser's find command to locate it on this page.
(Of course, you can also just read down the page, but you'll see that the
storyline is not very well developed...)
Also be sure to see the notes included at the bottom of the page.
This page is far from complete, but we're adding to it as time permits.
Meanwhile, as long as you're here, you may wish to also visit our

*Note: Although seeking talent by "keywords or phrases"
is a valid approach,
it is also insufficient for most purposes,
and we certainly don't recommend it
as your sole approach to qualifying an engineer
or engineering firm,
because it obviates ability
and can be very misleading!
For example, bank robbers have "experience handling money", and (unfortunately)
almost anyone can get a job with "Engineer" in the title these days.
You will get best results by selecting a licensed professional engineer,
describing your needs in detail, and involving him or her in the selection
process.
Licensed professionals are bound by State Statute and ethic to avoid misrepresentation
and to assist you in a positive manner.
