What is an engineering standard?

Standards are important because it ensures that people can use the same components worldwide. For example, standards make sure that people who own cameras can find the film they need for them anywhere around the globe.

It usually depends on who your customer is.  If you mean metric or inches.  Automotive, Medical uses metric, but most other industries still use inches.  I am automotive mostly we use ISO as a dimensioning Standard

You may mean the ISO (International Standards Organization) tolerance grade, which is not limited to drilling (applies to all dimensions).  The method is an efficient way to express tolerances, and is being used more frequently on CAD drawings these days. (Smaller drills have tighter tolerances; larger drills have looser tolerances).\n\nMachinery's Handbook has the standard (and the ANSI/ASME version too), and is the most useful way to obtain the information.\n\nOtherwise, check the links out below - you can purchase the standard directly from ISO - there is not much free information on the Internet because it is copyrighted.

A harmonized standard is an European standard (EN), prepared under the mandate of the European Commission or the EFTA Secretariat with the purpose of supporting the essential requirements of a directive. The mandate does not necessarily cover the complete standard, and it is possible to include other, additional provisions in the text of the standard, the application of which is not mandatory. When this is the case, distinction should be made between the regulated area of the standard, which "supports" the requirements of the directive, and the voluntary area of the standard. This relation is explained in "Annex Z" to every mandated standard.\n\nIn principle, the procedure of preparing and adopting a harmonized standard is the same as the procedure of adopting European Standards, the difference being in that the role of "CEN Consultant" is included during public enquiry, who reviews the draft standard from the point of view of meeting the provisions given in the wording of the mandate, and from the point of view of meeting the essential requirements of the corresponding European directives. It often occurs that a mandated standard supports more than one European directive (e.g. the draft standard on garage doors, which creates a presumption of conformity with the requirements of the directive on machines and the directive on construction products as well as the directive on EMC). If this is the case, several CEN Consultants will review the standard, each giving their report for the relevant field.  Prior to formal casting of votes on the mandated standard, the CEN Consultant will be engaged again to confirm, within four weeks, the final text of the standard for voting.  If the Consultant refuses to confirm the text, further coordination will be necessary between the Consultant, the chairman and the technical secretary of the CEN TC who has prepared the draft.

IP68 is a standard that refers to Ingress Protection of a device/connector/enclosure.  It is commonly used to refer to protection from water as well as dust and other contaminants as well.  See the link below to decode the first and second numbers of the rating. \n\nI believe IP is a standard of the IEC.  NEMA also publishes a similar standard for enclosures.

Benchmarking = is basically the primary example at which you compare/measure goods, services or a value against.\n\nSimple example: say you are a high jumper and you measure/benchmark your performance against the last olympc gold medalist.\n\nre-engineering means that you are re-designing something which could be numeric, scientific, visual etc.

Electronic engineering (sometimes synonymous with Electrical engineering) is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the emission, behavior, and effects of electrons (as in electron tubes and transistors) and with electronic devices, systems or equipment.

Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering that concerns aircraft, spacecraft and related topics. It is often called aeronautical engineering, particularly when referring solely to aircraft, and astronautical engineering, when referring to spacecraft.
