Science v/s Engineering

Science: Investigation, understanding, and discovery of

nature, its composition, and its behavior (i.e., lawsof nature)

Why Build (experiments, tools, devices, etc.) to learn

Engineering:

Manipulating the forces of nature to advance

humanity How

Learn to build (products and services useful forhumans)

What is EngineeringI

Engineering: Latin root, ingeniere, to design or todevise

Engineering is design under constraint

device, component, subsystem, system such as

Airplane

Engine Air Conditioner Heart Valve

Profession

Math and natural sciences

Knowledge acquired by study, experience, and

professional practice

Knowledge applied with judgment

Attention must be paid to constraints (economic,

materials, forces of nature) Benefit of mankind

Not based solely on trial, error, intuition

Why Engineering in K-12

Real-world engineering applications andexamples concretize complex math andscience concepts

Students are engaged in experiential learning

Students creativity is challenged, developed,and enhanced

Students soft skills in communication andteam-work are developed

Students are better equipped for college-levelwork and can become active participants in anincreasingly technological society
