An act of spontaneous repair or fabrication of an item or system sometimes used in a humorous or self deprecating fashion.
Solving a technical issue in a temporary manor until a permanent replacement can be acquired if that is even possible.
Usually accomplished without proper engineering knowledge or training, without proper materials and components, or without proper tools for the job at hand. More often lacking all three.
A skill typically employed by individuals who can be described as 'born engineers' or as being naturally gifted with a 'head for tinkering'. These individuals likely could have done well in the STEM fields if they ever had the resources or opportunity to attend the proper schooling or purchase the proper tools and training.
Commonly used in rural environments found in and around economically depressed areas near the Appalachian Mountains in the United States.
Synonymous with the term 'Redneck Engineering', or in urban environments 'Improvisational Engineering' or 'Jury-rigging'.
The products of Appalachian Engineering are sometimes, but not necessarily always, considered ramshackle or slapdash.
Sometimes used in conjunction with some variation of the phrase "Hold my beer, I got this".
When criticized the resulting products of Appalachian Engineering are defended with the phrase, "If it looks stupid but it works then it is not stupid", although it very well might be dangerous if you aren't careful with it.

Noun:
"That is a mighty fine bit of appalachian engineering you've got there."

Wealth & Income Financial Engineer (W.I.F.E.) - The finance department of your average American household. May also be referred to as the finance committee, the accountant, or even hey bitch. Will object to large purchases without prior approval which may result in a change in sleeping arrangements.
So, I am looking at getting a new Samsung smartphone, but it's over $1000! I don't think the Wealth & Income Financial Engineer (W.I.F.E.) will sign off on that.

Planning to win a legal case by starting from the end and making a parallel system to subvert anything that stands in the way of winning the case. It is beyond making a case airtight. It is winning a case by all means necessary including making arrangements outside of the court case system.
Divine Law in the Philippines is very generous to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines in Luzon. This will come in handy in case they want to do REVERSE ENGINEERING IN A LEGAL CASE.

Engineering physics refers to the study of the combined disciplines of physics, mathematics and engineering. By focusing on the scientific method as a rigorous basis, it seeks ways to apply, design, and develop new solutions in engineering. - Wikipedia
Person 1: What's your major?
Person 2: Engineering Physics.
Person 1: What's that? Sound like a lot of hard math and physics.
Person 2: Yes and no, it's difficult to explain.
