Hello student ,

As you know both field need observation and analysis . But still scientists work on oberservation and engineers works for creating .Scientists used to create different theory by observing whereas engineers used to implement them on a working system .Both of them uses method of science and technology .In other words if we say scientists are masters of fechnology then scientists are inventors of technolgy .

Hope you find this helpful !

Hello,

Science is the study of the physical world, which engineering applies scientific knowledge to design processes, structures and equipment. Both engineers and scientists need a strong knowledge of science, maths and technology, but engineers tend to apply these principles to designing creative solutions. A scientist will undergo scientific training and work in the sciences whereas an engineer will be trained solely as that. Scientists tend to explore the natural world and discover new things about the universe and how it works whereas engineers apply that knowledge learnt in order to solve practical problems, often focusing on cost, efficiency and other limits.
