Quote by Henry Petroski

Science is about knowing; engineering is about doing.


Science is about knowing; engineering is about doing.

Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between science and engineering. While science focuses on acquiring knowledge and understanding through research and experimentation, engineering is more action-oriented, focusing on applying scientific principles to design, build, and create practical solutions that solve real-world problems. Science is the pursuit of knowledge, while engineering is the application of that knowledge to innovate and bring about tangible results.
