Engineering (general)
French term or phrase: étude
Nous démarrons l’étude d’un nouveau produit. Ce produit a pour fonction la cuisson de la viande. Cette étude aura pour base technique et support un ancien produit et d’un design . Il s’agit essentiellement de reconcevoir le même produit en actualisant la conception suivant le nouveau design.

I am quite confused with 'étude' here. Heading of the file which contains this text is "Dossier de consultation des coûts d’étude du produit GRILL COLOR"

Should it be 'design' or 'research' or 'study'??
