| Baseline - | (Software Engineering) a point at which some deliverable produced during the software engineering process is put under formal change contro |
| Configuration status reporting (CSR) - | (Software Engineering) an activity that help software developer to understand what changes have been made and why |
| Project tracking - | (Software Engineering) the activity that enables a manager to understand the status of a project |
| Requirements analysis - | (Software Engineering) a modeling activity whose objective is to understand what the customer really wants |
| Reverse engineering - | (Software Engineering) trying to develop design models or an understanding of design using program code as a starting point |
| Task analysis - | (Software Engineering) a software engineering action that is conducted as part of user interface design; intended to better understand how a user is to interact with a system |
| Hydrogenesis | (Concrete Engineering) Another term for condensation. The term is especially applied to base and soil substrates under highway pavements. where the barometric pump causes the inhalation of humid air, which then condenses in those structures, causing an ever increasing moisture content and sometimes instability. |
| Plane of Weakness | (Concrete Engineering) The plane along which a structure under stress will tend to fracture; may exist because of the nature of the structure and its loading, by accident, or by design. |
| Preplaced Concrete | (Concrete Engineering) Concrete manufactured by placing clean, graded coarse aggregate in a form and later injecting a portland cement-sand grout under pressure, to fill the voids. |
| Vaporproof | (Concrete Engineering) A material that is totally immune to the passage of a gas under pressure. Any material that is truly vaporproof will inherently be waterproof. |
