Scientists vs Engineers

- Scientists and engineers are both professionals involved in research and problem-solving, but they have different focuses and approaches. he primary objective of scientists is to expand knowledge and understanding of the natural world. They conduct research, formulate hypotheses, and conduct experiments to test theories and gather new information. Engineers, on the other hand, apply scientific knowledge and principles to design and create practical solutions to real-world problems. Scientists aim to advance scientific knowledge and understanding. They often work in academic or research settings and are driven by curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown. Their research may contribute to fundamental discoveries and theories in various fields. Engineers, on the other hand, are concerned with applying scientific principles to solve specific problems and meet practical needs. Their work typically involves designing, building, and implementing systems, structures, or processes to address specific challenges or improve existing technologies.

1:10 I'm sorry but that voice crack was hilarious
Engineers create scientific knowledge during their breakthrough discoveries, more so than scientists..... it often goes unnoticed because the end user of such discoveries are engineers themselves.
That's a very good point. Discoveries come out of tinkering more than anything else. Great point!

Some of them are tinkering
But rigorous scientific research is made by engineering departments to the point that it makes engineers more useful scientists than scientists. Take for example the field of biomedical engineering, CFD and non-newtonian machanics are used to understand the blood flow and the nature of its coupled dynamics in tissues and make scientific predicitions to make medical diagnosis machines, or in the field of applied mathematics, engineers use optimal system theory to unravel complexities and devise solution output to multi-objective complex dynamic systems
@@samofrabat Jesus! What do you do again 😅
So is it safe to say that scientist vs engineer can be compared to doctor vs nurse? The doctor does the brain work and comes up with a diagnosis and the nurse does the more direct physical work with the patient.

Of course not. That is a silly comparison. Engineering is a prime profession in Europe. Take for example in France and Swizerland, to be an government official or top companies CEOs, companies prefer Engineers. It is only in the US that engineers arent getting the praise they should. They are highly regarded but not as in France. Engineers actually especially with PhD are more scientists than scientits in their rigour, ingenuity, and innovation. Most scientific discoveries actually are done by engineering researchers, but they go unnoticed because the end users are engineers themselves. Doctors are professionals not scientists unless they have MD/Phd or with Phd minor. I dont see a proper analogy somewhere, but at the Phd level, an engineer is scientist, a technologist, and innovator. A scientist on the other hand is a scientitst. But it remains that natural and physical sciences for example is about expanding the knowledge about that which in nature we dont understand. But in Engineering, instead of nature, it is discovery of uncharted territory of aspect of knowledge that will advance humanity.
I like your specific mention of prediction in science, corresponding with "science is an explanatory, predicting and controlling method in which the relations among physical structures (or, in which natural phenomena) are measured empirically." -- T.Q.
Btw, you once mentioned a TQ monument; an SP production might do.
Keep up the good work, my friend.
Glad to see you're back.

Very thought provoking. I have a question. How would you encourage more technical entrepreneurs to solve the city's problems? Problems that are beneficial to all but seems to be in the realm of public sector? In software there's an abundance of technical entrepreneurs even looking for problems to solve because of the nature of the industry. But in traditional industries, the benefit and monetary reward is not so apparent even for those who have the skills and could invest the effort.
Essentially how would you stimulate and encourage innovation in government-regulated industries? Where the innovation benefits the city as a whole and not individual consumers?
You've kinda answered your own question believe it or not. For an industry to see rapid progress, you have to 1) De-regulate it so that wild profits may be possible in the space. This will released massive entrepreneurial energy. 2) You have to a culture similar to Silicon Valley where failure is not shamed or even encouraged. There is this thing in the Valley where people say "Fail Fast". Now doing these two things will come at a cost, for nothing is free. Once you de-regulate an industry, it will very much become a wild wild west. You will release entrepreneurial creativity but you will also attract shady characters whose only out to make a buck. These bad actors with no morals will do things that hurt people and there will be casualties. However, the cost (in my opinion at least) is worth it. The collective eventually learns the scam and adjust but by then a few people have already been casualties. Such is the cost of rapid progress, nothing is free.
Thanks for sharing 😃🇨🇴
Great video! Bad software can bring a city to its knees, especially if its managing and/or automating critical infrastructure.
Very true! I stand corrected
An engineer is a type of scientist.
What makes you say that
@@cxc Engineering is a science, of a sort.
The poor get rich? Tell that to millions of hard working poor people in America. Oh wait... this guy has a video of Ayn Rand quotes. That explains a lot...
Dude who are you judging like this. I was born in Haiti and was definitely one of those working poor you're talking about when I came to this country.
@@cxcI am also part Haitian, nice video brother!! 😎👍👍
