A scientist describes what is. An engineer creates what never was. — © Theodore von Karman
A scientist describes what is. An engineer creates what never was.
Science is the study of what Is, Engineering builds what Will Be. The scientist merely explores that which exists, while the engineer creates what has never existed before.
Since I stayed in a colony where either one was an engineer or a scientist, everybody thought I would be a scientist. This was the expectation everybody had apart from my parents.

I pushed the process forward by saying, 'We should do this, this, and this right now. Please find the budget for me to find a structural engineer, a mechanical engineer, a civil engineer, so we can do the preliminary work.'

Well, I mean, I'm still a scientist, you know. I think once a scientist, always a scientist.
