Science vs. Engineers

Scientists •Ask questions about the world•Test theories •Communicate Information•Chemist: finds out information about elements or chemical reactions, does experiements

Engineers•Define problems•Test possible solutions •Design and Build •Chemical Engineer: design water wells, design plastics, cleaning supplies, design solutions for oil spills, ect.
