Does anyone know the meaning of "use case of a project" when it is not related to software engineering. Like for example, in electrical engineering projects, a question might be like, what is the use case of your project?

is it an abstract paragraph?

 

Here's what Google says:

noun

1. a specific situation in which a product or service could potentially be used.
   "there are lots of use cases for robotic hardware, from helping disabled users to automating factories"

In other words, it is similar to the currently popular term, "purpose-designed."
