An engineering specification is a technical description of how something is to be made or how something is to be done or how something is to perform and can include combinations of the three categories. The language is precise, usually includes numerical values and often includes references to published Codes and Standares.

In the engineering sense, it can be one of two things:
(1) The specific performance properties of a engineered article, such as stereo, camera or computer system.
(2) It can also be a document that lays out the goals and expectations of an engineering project, especially including any numeric targets. For example a specification to build a super-computer might include the minimum floating point operations per second, minimum amount of memory, maximum power usage, maximum heat output, maximum size, type of processors, type of cooling system, maximum cost, housing requirements, etc.
