Are you a scientist?

[SuperMagnetMan]

Hey, I am better than a scientist - I am an electrical engineer:). Of course scientists will see it differently. The biggest difference is that scientists usually love to do their research to answer questions - engineers love to solve problems. Engineers usually use lots of technology that scientists lay the foundation for. Engineers see everything as a problem to be solved and scientists see it as a question to be answered. I hope this helps

@SuperMagnetMan Alot of the laws you use as an electrical engineer were founded by scientists not engineers. Science and engineering is along the same level whether developing a new kind of motor or creating a new drug scientists and engineers are all producers of goods that benefit the world. Whether those goods are physical or data are irrelevant and saying you are better than a scientist shows inferiority. Don't bash the people that first discovered the electron that you use everyday in work.

@TechKnowlogee

Never said scientists didn't come up with laws - of course most of the "laws" were before there were any titles for people of science. Newton, Archimedes, Euler, Hertz, Da Vinci, Gauss, etc. all pretty much curious people who tried thousands of things and recorded what happened. Edison was definitely an engineer even though I don't recall that he had the education for a title. Obviously you missed the point - I would hate being a "scientist" because I love solving problems!

[TechKnowlogee]

@SuperMagnetMan So I guess scientists don't solve problems. Is that what you are saying. I would just like that statement defined.

[SuperMagnetMan]

@TechKnowlogee

True scientists search for answers to questions. That is what science is - sometimes those answers are just for an increase in general knowledge and other times it is used to solve problems. Engineers and scientists and many other professions are trained to sometimes do both. As an engineer I have had to create experiments to learn what I needed to solve a problem and I have worked with lots of scientists who take what they learn and solve an existing problem.

@SuperMagnetMan

can you go over a video on how to approach a conflicting viewpoints passage of more than 2 scientists?

thanks
