==Requirements== Unlike the [[scientific method]] which relies on [[peer review]]ed [[experiment]]s which attempt to prove or disprove a falsifiable [[hypothesis]], exploratory engineering relies on [[peer review]], [[simulation]] and other methods employed by scientists, but applies them to some hypothetical artifact, a specific and detailed hypothesized design or process, rather than to an abstract model or theory. Because of the inherent lack of experimental [[falsifiability]] in exploratory engineering, its practitioners must take particular care to avoid falling into practices analogous to [[cargo cult science]], [[pseudoscience]], and [[pathological science]].
