I think there's another reason.
Most engineers are men, however quite a few biologists and chemists are women.
The vast majority are also white, with some Asians.
Not sure what race has to do with this subject, but whatever...
Science and engineering go hand in hand, to say one is better than the other, doesn't really make much sense, if anything, engineering is the practical approach to problem solving, which is based on scientific principles, in most cases........
This is probably one of the stupidest things I have ever seen on City-Data. Engineering is the practical application of the findings and knowledge of specific scientific disciplines. If, for example, there had never been any scientists to study the nature of electromagnetism, there would not have been any electrical engineers to design the components of the computer you used to post your inane message, because there would have been no knowledge on which to base the principles of electrical engineering. If the science of chemistry did not exist, there would be no chemical engineers, and a lot of the substances we take for granted in our daily lives (many medicines, components of certain foods, gas, plastics) would not exist.
The study of the universe and its properties is where the long chain of knowledge that ultimately makes our lives so much easier and more convenient begins.
I'm pretty sure I know which post is stupid.
Case in point: I worked with Electrical, EMI, EMC engineers for 40 years. I know whereof I speak. They don't chase unicorns and fairies. They don't sit around wondering if there are mushrooms on Planet Pluto.

Deal with it!
Do they ever wonder if they might have cancer? There is more to science than just space exploration.

What you won't realize is that these engineers would not have anything to engineer at all if someone hadn't done the science first. Are you not accepting this on purpose or are you just that dumb? Who do you think discovered all of the physical and mathematical laws and principles that all engineering disciplines are ultimately based on?

It is hard dealing with your level of ignorance, but I will try.
I'm an engineer and, although I can agree that I tend to deal with problems pragmatically instead of solely on emotion, I don't agree that I or many of the other engineers I work with are conservative. Maybe financially, but certainly not socially.
I agree with that. The numbers from the study are uncited and pretty much meaningless. All we know is that 1,200 readers of Machine Design have voluntarily identified themselves as overwhelmingly conservative.
What a crock of compost! The scientist first has to run the experiments before the engineer can design the bridge properly!
lol. Your lack of knowledge is amusing.
Next time an airplane, missile, or drone flies over your head and doesn't fall into your compost pile, think of the engineers I worked with, and thank them. There wasn't a scientist on the property, anywhere, nada, nope, none! All Engineers.
Science created engineering, so yes it is on a different plane.
