What’s the real difference between overbuilding and overengineering? In product design and mechanical engineering, making something stronger, heavier, or more complex than necessary can quietly ruin usability, cost, and market success. Using real-world examples—from shovels and vacuums to smartphones and failed tech products—this video explains how to design for intent, avoid costly mistakes, and build products people actually want to use. If you’re an engineer, inventor, entrepreneur, or product developer, this is a must-watch before you take a physical product to market.
