Andrew Grove, chemical engineer, ceo of intel made advancements in the field of semiconductors. What do you mean contributions to science? Do you mean advancing technologies or contributing to theory or what? Ultimately advancements in technology allow experiments to happen in the first place. That's an example of indirect contributions. We can talk about computing and molecular dynamics or even nanotechnology too.

Science is a rather large field. Engineers mostly contribute to their fields though engineering science, which unlike the other fields with science in their names, is actually a science.

If you mean what have engineers contributed to physics or chemistry?
Tesla

Scientists (and mathematicians) and engineers live in symbiosis: engineers existed way before science took its current form (just think about Roman aqueducts), and science doesn't necessarily follow the practical "short term" purposes of engineering, but they both benefit of each other.

You are a fucking moron.

How about everyone here get their dicks out of their asses and realize these arbitrary rankings of engineering and hard sciences does nothing but inflate your ego which ultimately is stemmed from the deeply rooted insecurities and continuous questioning of your intellect.

Purecucks get confused by the fact that because engineers can do science and math better than them. They always try to claim credit for developments by engineers, including these muh algorithm fuckwits who know so little about numerical analysis that they don't realize Runge, Kutta were the last mathematicians to make significant contributions to the field while mostly engineers developed modern numerical methods and built the FORTRAN libraries etc.
