>>12889757The engineer has been, and is, a maker of history. As engineers, we were going to be in a position to change the world – not just study it. Scientists study the world as it is; engineers create the world that has never been. The ideal engineer is a composite … He is not a scientist, he is not a mathematician, he is not a businessman or a writer; but he may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these disciplines in solving engineering problems. Good engineers understand science, they could be a better scientist than anyone, but they care about other problems more. In other words, an engineer could easily be a scientist, but a scientist can't be an engineer. So keep enjoying your math and science in this society that we built for you, we'll also enjoy it but you should remember your place.
