Overhead (engineering)

In engineering, some methods or components make special demands on the system. The extra design features necessary to meet these demands are called overhead.^[1][2] For instance, in electrical engineering, a particular integrated circuit might draw large current, requiring a robust power delivery circuit and a heat-dissipation mechanism.
