Reverse Engineering

Newcomen Society

Dr. John Moyle will talk to us about Reverse Engineering, the process in which machines and other products are 'deconstructed'.

Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum

Reverse engineering, sometimes called “back engineering”, is a process in which, machines, weapons, architectural structures, software and other products are “deconstructed” to extract design information from them. Often, reverse engineering involves deconstructing individual components of larger objects. Strictly, anatomy, physiology and histopathology could also be included.
Reverse engineering may be done in a number of guises and for many reasons: ethical and immoral; civil or military; investigation of failure; history or just plain inquisitiveness!
This paper discusses these varied reasons and the vast range of skills, disciplines and techniques required. I will be mentioning examples from antiquity up to printed and integrated circuits. I will not be discussing the so-called reverse engineering of soft/firmware which is mainly unethical and illegal and beyond me!&quot;
