You may wonder what parrots have to do with any of the engineering life? Well they do. A lot.
Reverse engineering (also known as backwards engineering or back engineering) is a process or method through which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a previously made device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight into exactly how it does so.
Still wondering, huh?
Well, here it is.
Both are Smart, Imitate, live long and inspiring.
1.Smart:
Parrots are one of the most intelligent and adaptable creatures on earth, for their ability to create complex cognition. Meanwhile, reverse engineering has been adapting new techniques continuously up till today to create a complex virtual digital reference saving time, efforts and money.
Time:
By discovering product’s vulnerabilities to ensure safety and to keep the faults in the research phase rather than the distribution one.
Efforts:
Any reverse engineering process includes a full-working CAD file for future references enhancing productivity and efficiency.
Money:
One of the Must-Needed perk for reverse engineering is bringing less expensive & more efficient products to the market by lowering manufacturing costs and raising product effectiveness as much as possible.
2.Imitation
Parrots imitate sounds by listening > Processing > Reproducing. Seems familiar?!
Reverse engineering imitates the previous efforts to improve and develop without going to the step ZERO. This happens through a strategic process using 3D Scanning to build a cloud data as a reference for the next production.
3.Live-Long
When parrots can live for more than 80 years, Reverse engineering is a lifetime impact.
Reverse engineering is not a modern approach, it has been used since a very long time ago. One example to imagine is “The Egyptian Chariot”. The Assyrian army dominated with their chariots, and the Egyptians captured one, reverse engineered it, and went on to mass produce their improved design.
Reverse engineering has no intention for non-existence, it’s been here since a lot and we’re still counting..
4.Inspiring
Parrots with their variety of types, colors and species, the perfect inspiring factors for an artist.
Reverse engineering works as Parrots-Inspiring-Power for engineers, It gives a way for innovative design. When you enrich a creative mind with an old idea it clicks, a new system could be discovered, a new incentive to be created and so on.
See? Parrots are not so far from the field at the end of the day. 😊
