1) Carefully review at least five of the resources in this Wakelet Collection.

2) On the wake, 'like' (thumbs up) the two resources you found most useful in understanding the difference between science and engineering.

3) Sign in to Padlet.

4) In your own post on this Padlet, and in your own words, explain the difference between science and engineering.

5) Investigate careers in science and engineering. Find a specific one that interests you. (Examples: a marine biologist or a chemical engineer.)

6) Find an online resource (article, video, blog post, etc.) that explains or shows what someone in that field does.

7) Post a link to that resource in this Padlet.

8) Read your classmates' posts and reply to at least two peers with a meaningful, constructive comment. (Examples: a) Your explanation of the difference between science and engineering helps me understand .... b) This career sounds really cool because ....)

What I would want to be

I think that I would like to be a Maritime archaeologists because I love the ocean and I would love to be a part of discoveries around the world including: ship wrecks, treasure findings, and answers to history.

Science vs. Engineering

Scientists: discover new knowledge

Engineers: use what is already known to create something new.

Engineers use what science has discovered to make new things. They also use math which is also used in Science. Scientists discover new interesting things but they can use the things that Engineers made to discover new ideas. Science also uses math which Engineers use as well. These are just some ways that Scientists and engineers are different and the same.

Scientists V.S Engineers

Based on the six articles I've read I now know what the differences between engineers and scientists are. One of the differences is that scientists ask the questions while engineers solve questions. Another difference is that scientists work to find more knowledge about the natural world, while engineers use knowledge of the natural world to solve everyday problems. Those are some of the differences between scientists and engineers. -Eva

Difference between Science and Engineering Grace

All the websites I read about engineering and science were really helpful at first I couldn't think of the actual difference between the two but now it makes a lot more sense. The bigger difference between the two mainly for me was scientists want to learn more about something when engineering wants to know how they can change or create something for it or even solving it.

I would want to be a neurologist because I would like to discover the human brain and all of the brain's logic and system.

What I want to be Scientist or Engineer!

Choosing between a scientist or an engineer I'd want to be a scientist. More specifically an animal conservationist. Why I'd want to be an animal conservationist is because I love animals very much and I don't want them to be disappearing Another reason is because a conservationist helps prevent animals from becoming extinct and extinction has a big impact on the food web. That is why I would want to be a scientist. (animal conservationist) -Eva

Difference between Science and Engineering Grace 2

While reading all of the jobs for engineering and science were very interesting but the one that stuck out to me was astronomy. This was very intriguing to me because when you go further deep into the background on astronomy you'd figure out there are many different types types of astronomy some of them are observational, theoretical, planetary, and astrobiology and there are even more than that. All of them focus on the astronomy but in different places or ways about it.

Scientists use different equations than engineering. Engineers use different tools than scientists do. People who do science solve different problems for scientists and engineers use all kinds of different math than scientists. Scientists create questions while engineering creates solutions. Scientists have a much broader range of study. Engineers create cars, building, and bridges. while scientist try to solve cears, for sickness, and DNA.
