Concurrent engineering

Okay kiddo, have you ever played with blocks before? Imagine we want to build something really cool out of blocks, like a big tower.

Concurrent engineering is kind of like building that big tower with lots of other people at the same time. Each person has their own set of blocks and they all work together to build the tower.

But here’s the thing, each person has a special job to do. One person might be really good at building strong foundations, another may be really good at stacking blocks as high as they can go, and yet another might be great at making sure all the blocks fit together perfectly.

So instead of one person building the whole thing by themselves, everyone works together to make the tower as quickly and efficiently as possible. By dividing the work and working together, the tower can be built faster and better than if just one person did it all by themselves.

Concurrent engineering is like this - it’s when lots of people with different skills and expertise work together at the same time to build something, like a car or a computer. It helps things get done faster and better because everyone is working together to make it happen.
