Science vs Engineering The scientists seeks to understand

Science vs Engineering The scientists seeks to understand what is; The engineer seeks to create what never was. - Attributed to: Theodore von Karman Theodore von Kármán (1881 – 1963) was a Hungarian-American mathematician, aerospace engineer, and physicist who was active primarily in the fields of aeronautics and astronautics. He is responsible for many key advances in aerodynamics, notably his work on supersonic and hypersonic airflow characterization. He is regarded as the outstanding aerodynamic theoretician of the twentieth century.

Science vs Engineering l l Gordon Lindsay Glegg, a mechanical engineer from Scotland, said ''A scientist can discover a new star but he cannot make one. He would have to ask an engineer to do it for him. '' l l Scientific inquiry is the process that scientists use to gain insights about the natural world. Technological and engineering design is the way that scientific, mathematical, and design principles are applied to create solutions to problems or develop products.
