Powerpoint Engineering (also called Viewgraph Engineering) is a favorite activity of aerospace engineers at NASA. This activity involves the creation of Powerpoint slides rather than doing actual work. The greatest practitioners of this art form are able to produce mind-numbing charts that make absolutely no sense, but are nevertheless used to influence national space policy.
Powerpoint engineering has replaced actual engineering at most NASA centers.
