The phrase "a basis for engineering" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing foundational principles, concepts, or elements that support or inform engineering practices or theories.
Example: "Understanding mathematics provides a basis for engineering, allowing students to tackle complex design problems."
Alternatives: "a foundation for engineering" or "a framework for engineering".
A sufficiently clear, precise, and comprehensive statement to serve as a basis for engineering studies, however, is another matter.
The results provide a basis for engineering design.
It is one which results from the growing practical use of computation as a basis for engineering decisions.
Insect wings are used as a basis for engineering biomimetic materials; however, the material properties of these nanostructures such as local elastic modulus and adhesion are poorly understood.
