Engineering (Engineering Physics) innovates. Science (Physics) discovers. Engineering is sometimes called applied science: it sits between science and technology. Science can be lofty. Engineering tends to be down to earth. Scientists experiment. Engineers invent things to help others. Scientists ponder. Engineers imagine. Both love to solve puzzles. Scientists like to understand how nature works. Engineers want to improve the world. Scientists write papers and books. Engineers make money. Scientists love to peek inside nature, seeking to delicately uncover new ways in which our universe works. Engineers are more interested in saving the world. While there is significant overlap, scientists and engineers approach things a little differently. They have somewhat different goals. Their professional standards differ a bit. They form different cultures. Both dream.
