Why is Estimation Important?
Proper Estimation comes with experience in a certain field. Estimation can be used to verify the achieved solution be assuring the problem solver that their solution is within the ballpark of an actual legitimate solution.
It is helpful to have a general estimation of certain geometric formulas and how to apply them to engineering problems along with many other general relationships.
