In the orientation of my school, the vice dean Gary Bertoline stated the relationships among science & engineering & technology with this chart, by two dimensions - understanding & practical usage.
- Science : questing for a better understanding, but without considering the pratical output for this world. Representitive figure: Albert Einstein.
- Engineering : questing for a better understanding originating from pursuing practical usage. Representitive figure: Pasteur.
- Technology : questing for a better practical usage without questing a better understanding to the stuff you use. Representitive figure: Edison.
It is the first time I'm so clear about such borders... score!
