Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them

Summary

This quote emphasizes the contrast between scientists and engineers. While scientists are imaginative thinkers and dreamers, engineers are practical and action-oriented individuals who turn those dreams into reality. Scientists often come up with innovative ideas and theories, but it is the engineers who take those ideas and turn them into tangible products, systems, or solutions. Engineers possess the skills and knowledge to translate scientific concepts into practical applications, making a direct impact on the world through their work.
