What's engineering? Yeah, I've wiki'd but ..eh.

Just looking at a uni here and the different programmes

How on Earth are these in any way related?

If you're looking to get into a profession with a lot of future success, pharmaceuticals or geriatrics are the answer.

A scientist is somone who does somthing for the first time, an engineer is somone who does somthing for the second time, and a mechanic is somone who does somthing for the third time.

Engineering is a systematic method of problem solving. That's why it applies to so many fields.

>> No.3813149

So it's basically just the person who puts whatever the scientists find out to use? Or put it to use in a more efficient way?

>> No.3813159

Pretty much, but the vast majority of engineers don't design anything. They write or oversee processes involving technology.

Sort of. Although experienced engineer will also consider "external" factor such as local law & regulation, material pricing, etc.

the true beauty of science fleshes itself out once you study math and physics/chemistry. sure, engineers know all about solving their differential equations and simulations/modeling, but that stuff is like a local artist's gallery compared to the exquisite, rich museum stored in the deep ends of math.

Managing a business or IT network is satisfying on a small level, like solving a sudoku puzzle (the money is the main reason, a different kind of satisfaction). Science, on the other hand, has this atmosphere that resembles a religion, minus all the mindless followers who don't work on rational arguments.

Nothing, really. He likes science, so he claims it's somehow more valuable or satisfying.

Scientists discover the nature of reality. Engineers make use of that knowledge. Science is worth dick without application. Engineering is worth dick without base knowledge.

You have no idea what architects actually do, do you?

What you're thinking of is called a structural engineer.

Really? Architects don't use science? Then why the fuck do they study structures, physics, geometry etc? If your architecture program doesn't include those subjects, it's shit tier.
