What does that Mean?

Cad, cc, feedstock, and lng are just a few of the many things that engineers and engineering companies use in their day to day lingo. Much like what Perri Klass said in her paper about her experience of medical jargon while she was a medical student while she attended Harvard. She pointed out how she would hear a ton of terms from abbreviations to baseball references that most likely did had nothing to do with baseball in a hospital. This was very interesting to think that how every field may  have their own kind of language to it. In fact, even engineering seems to have its own terms that many probably would not understand if they were to hear it. Some common words that an engineering company may say are CAD, computer-aided design, CC, cubic centimeters, and O&M, operations and maintenance(Glossary: Fluor Presents Definitions of Common Engineering Terms.). This is just a few of the many abbreviations and terms that engineers could use. These may even vary from company to company even. So go out and find out something new about your own field of study.
