 SCIENTIST vs ENGINEERS
Confusion of Factors:
Engineers
- Math and scientific Knowledge.
- High studies on maths and
science.
- Experimentation while it Works
on engineering
- Trained to be an engineer or a
scientist
Scientist
- They use engineering methods
on their research.
- Could be trained by engineers.
- Such as engineers they require
passion, creativity and intellectual
effort.
 Scientist Engineers
Different purposes

“Scientists discover the world that exists;

engineers create the world that never was.”

Von Karman
