dingénierie

Dingénierie is not a standard or widely recognized term in French or English. It tends to appear as a nonstandard concatenation of the preposition d’ (de) with ingénierie (engineering) or as a brand name. Consequently, it lacks a formal definition in dictionaries and scholarly literature.

Etymology and usage: In proper French, the expression would be d’ingénierie, meaning “of engineering,” or the noun ingénierie for the discipline itself. When dingénierie appears as a single word, it is typically used in informal, marketing, or stylistic contexts rather than in technical writing.

Examples and caution: People may encounter dingénierie in slogans, company names, or product descriptions intended to evoke engineering expertise or a fusion with design. In formal or technical writing, it is advisable to use ingénierie or the phrase d’ingénierie, depending on the sentence structure.

Relation to established terms: The standard term for the discipline is ingénierie. Related concepts include design engineering, systems engineering, and engineering management, which are well-defined fields with established terminology.
