From the article: What Is the Difference Between a Scientist and an Engineer?
Some people say there is no difference between a scientist and an engineer, while other people think the two careers are totally separate from each other. Scientists and engineers typically have strong opinions about what they do, which makes sense, since it involves discovering, inventing, and improving pretty much everything, right? How would you describe the difference between a scientist and an engineer? What's the Difference?
they are the same
- i think there is no difference between a scientist and an engineer because both work for nature and humanity

Scientist vs Engineer
- As we can see from the list of the Noble Prize in Physics, we can already tell who inhabits that area. Scientists are the ones who starts the process, and their work are sometimes theoretical in manner, but really exciting both mathematically and mystically. Engineers doesn't really need to go that far to serve their purpose. I seldomly see an engineer who knows the strong force.

THE Difference
- Engineers trained for Using tools, where Scientists are trained for Making them. Engineers are Hard Workers, Where Scientists are free Workers. Engineers Spend most of there time to looking at a solution where Scientist spend their time looking at the Problem. Engineers always treats the decease where scientist treats the root of the deceased. Engineers are narrow minded and scientist are broad minded.

They are cousines !
- Scientists develop theories and work to verify them, Engineers search in these theories to "optimize" things in real life. For instance, scientist may research and find out some properties of a material, engineers look for how to utilize these properties in optimal manner while considering efficiency, cost, and other aspects of interests. There is an overlap between science and engineering. In fact, you may find an Engineer who "develop theories" and a Scientists who "optimize".

Science Vs. Engineering
- Scientists, Engineers (and yes, managers) are all after the same thing! Science explores the phenomena of nature and attempts to find the laws that govern them; Engeering attempts to use the laws of nature (already known) to replicate them in situations leading to usable end results; Management provides the logical frame work (What and why -- the strategy and when and how [- the operations) for our efforts through science and engineering! Hence every professional is a scientist, engineer and manager (with different proportions, depending on their job assignment or career choice). Then what is technology? --- Technology is an integrated outcome of sceince, engineering and management pertaining to the phenomena of choice. This Nuclear Technology is the intergation of S/E/M pertaining to nuclear fission or fusion. Automotive technology is a collection of S/E/M efforts pertaining to automobiles and hence include I.C. Engine technology, Steering and Control technology, etc.

The Honest Truth
- Scientists get PhDs; Engineers get jobs I guess my response must be between 50 and 1000 characters so maybe this random sentence will accomplish that.

EveryOne else writing cliches
- Engineers and scientists do the same jobs. Engineers only learn a particular field in great depth. For example, a physicist will know maxwells laws, and basic circuit theory; but an electrical engineer will have studied next to nothing but electrical phenomena for the same time. Engineering also crosses the traditional boundaries of science- chemical engineers study the physics of chemical reactions on large scales. Both jobs are problem solving jobs. Both involve design testing and innovation. Both can be research jobs involving the study of new phenomena

they have a difference
- though my knowledge to both engineering and science is limited but according to my level i could say that science allows us to have more information about how the universe that we live in does work ,but the engineering uses scientific principles to convert universe resources into some thing usefull so engineers always feed rules and laws provided by scientists to make the life easier and comfortable .

scientist
- a scientist invents a law and an engineer applies it . as long as science is concerned both use it and misuse it .

Engineer vs Scientist
- Scientists discover the nature such as pressure directly prop to temperature, they think hard to find the laws of nature. On another hand Engineers uses these laws of nature to invent to equipments such refrigerator, engine. And also engineers uses scientists laws to triumph in their inventions. Engineers are concerned with costs and scientists are not.

Engineer vs scientist
- Scientist discover new things...they work in laboratories to research and discover new cure to disease ultimately for the living community...engineers makes things happen...engineers create things...ultimately for the benefit of society as well....both have their own area of expertise....

- engineer is a person who implement new things like devices or objects. he produced new things which are artificial not natural. but a scientist research on the natural things .discover new things as well as livings things like animals etc.

scientist
- scientist suffer when working but engineers just copy scientists

Scientist vs Enginner
- Scientist for invention of new theories. Engineers for applying those theories for piratical applications.
