Engineers vs Scientists
Science makes it known; engineering makes it useful.
What that means:

Engineers have to design under uncertainty; use


correlations and constitutive relations not based on
fundamental laws.

Engineers rarely operate within the ideal model (chemists


use the ideal gas law; chemical engineers use the
compressibility relationship).

ENGINEERS VS SCIENTISTS
Scientists seek technical answers to understand
natural phenomenon
Engineers study technical problems with a
practical application always in mind
For example

Scientists study atomic structure to understand the


nature of matter; engineers study atomic structure to
make smaller and faster microchips

INTRODUCTION

Several characteristics of students that might


have an interest in engineering are:
Proficient skills in math and physical science
An urging from a high school counselor
Knows someone who is an engineer
Knows that engineering offers literally dozens,
if not hundreds of job opportunities
Is aware that a degree in engineering is quite
lucrative

THE ENGINEER AND THE ENGINEERING


TECHNOLOGIST

Main difference between the two is:

Engineers design and manufacture machines and


systems, while engineering technologists have the
technical know-how to use and install the machines
properly

An example:

The technologist identifies the equipment necessary


to assemble a new CD player; the engineer designs
said CD player

WHAT DO ENGINEERS DO

Ways to get information about careers:


Visit job fairs
Attend seminars on campus by various employers
Contact faculty with knowledge of engineering fields
Get an intern or co-op position
Enroll in an engineering elective course
