<p>Engineers are interested in developing technology and the human infrastructure. Everything human-built that you see can be basically broken down into some sort of “engineered procedure” that made that object what it is and that some engineering team/company has designed. That’s the main driving force. Whereas scientists are motivated by finding truths and seeking new knowledge or formulating new phenomena, engineers want to develop and implement solutions that really make our lives better and easier and to do that they study science’s findings (mainly physics) as well as perform experiments on natural resources (or as in modern times, with already manufactured parts and materials).</p>
<p>The grounding of all sorts of engineering is mechanical design, electrical design and construction design. And general systems design (designing any type of “system”). Mostly everything else (except software and chemicals) is built on top of these broad terms.</p>
