Engineers are losing. My heart is breaking and my pride is dwindling.

Both. Scientists advance knowledge of the world while engineers apply that knowledge.

Third option: Both. If you have one, but not the other, no progress is made. So, therefore, the poll is unanswerable since choosing either one is the wrong answer.

1 ReplyBoth are equally important. Science lets you understand the world, and engineering lets you use your understanding of it, and apply it into inventions and machines that help our lives. (or worsen them) If you just have science, you have all this understanding of physics and biology and you can't do anything with it, it's just knowledge. You know how you could combine these different compounds to make a medicine, but then you can't make it because you can't visualize how to make the machines to synthesize this medicine. You understand how steel and cement could be used to make a sturdy building, but you can't visualize the best possible way to arrange these materials so an efficient building can be constructed. If you just have engineering, you can't even start building stuff because you have no understanding of how it would work. You try to build a building without an understanding of physics and material science, and the building crumbles. You try to make a medicine, you can try to build all the machines that mix and churn, and cook and heat, but you have no idea what chemicals you need or where to obtain them.

Without the other, either one is useless.

2 RepliesEdited by sims3k: 5/18/2013 7:56:37 AM"Without Engineers, science is just philosophy" - random quote i saw on the internet. It seems theres some misconception as to what engineers do. They dont take ideas from scientists and apply them to real word situations. Nowadays the engineers are the ones that come up with a concept, and develop that concept into a reality. zero scientists involved. at most the only help an engineer would get from a scientist in developing something, would be data on properties of a certain material. Like the strength of a steel alloy over certain temperatures.

3 RepliesI would say scientists because you need to figure things out and understand how things work before you can build something, and once that is achieved, you can do anything an engineer does.

Both. I'm on the engineer side so...

Edited by BritLemon: 5/17/2013 7:29:57 PMThey're both equally important. Scientists discover stuff, Engineers make the stuff that discovers the stuff.

8 RepliesEdited by Forsvantro: 5/17/2013 4:14:08 AMScientists uncover knowledge, engineers apply it, but they're honestly very similar. They're like the bread and butter of human progress but having one without the other just isn't going to be very effective. I still laugh at non-STEM majors though, except medical.

7 RepliesEdited by Chaz: 5/17/2013 6:54:29 PMI know which one I'd rather be. Scientists that is. They're the ones that actually give the engineers something to work with.

1 ReplyEdited by Bolt: 5/17/2013 8:20:36 AMYou can't really have one without the other. Take scientists away and engineers are mechanics at best, take engineers away and the proverbial cavemen of the world will eat the scientists for taking their money and producing nothing but gibberish.

5 RepliesWhat enables technologists and engineers to actually move foreword and solve issues is based on scientific knowledge. Engineering cannot exist without science. This does not mean that engineering is any less important than science by any means, it's just that without one, you really can't have the other. My vote goes to neither side.

All engineers are scientists, but not all scientists are engineers.

Scientists, what would engineers do without them?

You're blind without scientists and paralyzed without engineers.

As of now, if all scientists disappeared, then humanity would still be able to continue onwards for [b]some time.[/b] If all engineers disappeared, who is going to fix our buildings? We'll see the general decay of infrastructure and mechanical vehicles until we are back to the Middle Ages. This is a silly scenario, anyway.
