Allometric engineering

Allometric engineering is a type of engineering that studies how different parts of something, like a body, work together. It looks at how different parts can be made to work together better and how they can be changed in size and shape to make them work better. For example, allometric engineers might study how a car's engine and wheels can be made bigger or smaller to make it go faster. Or they might look at how the size and shape of a person's heart affects how healthy and strong they are. Allometric engineers use mathematics, physics, and biology to understand how things work and can be improved.
