I'd argue that engineering, like science, is a mindset. If science asks "what" things are, engineering asks "how" to do things

A more standard definition in my tenure in academia is that scientists solve problems because they want to know the answer. Engineers solve problems because they want the problem to be solved.

In any case, the difference is just, heh, academic.

I'm very much the latter.
