For me Scientists and Engineers are very very different creatures. Engineers rely on science for truth. Scientists do not believe truth is known and spend their lives looking for at least one new truth they can believe in. Scientists are losing all the time, trying to figure out nature. Engineers structure things so they always win. Together there is no forest in my humble opinion having spent much of my life having to be an engineer to get bread on the table and a scientist when I could afford to show no useful output for long stretches of time. To me you might as well combine a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick maker together and call them a kitchen. But yes, I took several philosophy courses at Emory and, of course, I credit the natural philosophers with the Age of Reason and other creative acts of progress toward understanding the whole of reality.
