Constraints, trade-offs, and criteria for success
Every design problem has constraints, limits like how much time, money, or materials you can use, and clear criteria for what counts as success. Good engineers keep both in mind while designing a solution, and at more advanced levels, they also treat science itself as a constraint, since the laws of science can rule out an otherwise appealing idea, and weigh how a solution might affect people and the natural environment too.
