This has been proposed before https://meta.codidact.com/posts/74999.  My comment then was:

> I'm a dipl. computer engineer and if you ask me what an "engineering site" is about, I wouldn't be able to answer. The only thing that brings all the diverse engineering disciplines together is structured workflow, scientific methods, critical thinking and other broad terms. Plus a tonne of math. So what would this site really be about, without getting too broad, fuzzy and subjective? 

Since then we've launched a math site, so that part is already covered.

Lately though, I've been sour over various RL projects and been saying "can we please hand this project over to engineers instead". But if I step back and consider that line, what I actually meant with it is: have someone with relevant technical competence write a specification and make the product design. 

So such a site could be about proper project management I suppose? That is, project management with the aim to produce a working, safe and legal product, rather than with the aim to produce an agile lean TDD workflow.
