Comment on Engineering Is Not Science

Comments

Seems like there is a simple distinction:

Science is the pursuit of knowledge (using math, logic, and reasoning to obtain knowledge).

Engineering is the practice of applying a process to create something (either concerete or abstract--like software).

Sometimes you must perform science before you can engineer. Other times engineering is necessary before science.
