What is science and engineering? How to distinguish

Science refers to natural science, applied science and mathematical logic, as opposed to liberal arts. Science subjects mainly include: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, computer software application, technology and design practice.

Engineering refers to the research and application of materials science, computer, information, electronics, machinery, electricity, architecture, water conservancy, automobiles, instruments and other technologies and processes. Engineering or engineering is "applying the principles of science and technology to solve problems".

Difference:

1, with different meanings:

The birth and development of science is the result of the development of human wisdom, which indicates that human beings really know how to think about nature, so the development of science is also the key to the development of human science and natural thinking.

Science is a subject developed by applying basic scientific principles such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, combined with technical experience accumulated in production practice.

2. Different training objectives:

Science attaches importance to the practice of a certain number of exercises outside the homework, and the topics should be carefully selected and some typical topics should be selected. In the process of doing it, pay attention to multiple solutions to one problem, and don't just pursue quantity, thinking that reading more questions can improve the ability to solve problems; But to explore solutions and divergent thinking, that is to say, "special generalization"

The training target of engineering is senior engineering talents engaged in planning, exploration, design, construction, raw material selection, research and management in corresponding engineering fields. Mainly to train staff with practical application ability.

Extended data:

Well-known domestic science universities are: China University of Science and Technology, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, Fudan University, etc.

Domestic universities with outstanding engineering characteristics include: Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, Jilin University, Beihang University, Tongji University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Central South University, Tianjin University, Southeast University, Xi Jiaotong University, Dalian University of Technology, South China University of Technology, etc.
