What is the difference between science and engineering？

Seeing netizens said that “Watt just improved the steam engine and did not invent the steam engine, but he was the representative of the” Industrial Revolution “. Why is this?”In the final analysis, this is the difference between science and engineering/engineering, which is why Watt is outstanding.

What is the difference between engineering and science?Let’s talk about this issue from Watt’s contribution today.

01, Vat’s contribution

Regarding Watt’s contribution, encyclopedia is written like this.

The first one was created in 1776Practical valueSteam engine.After a series of major improvements in the futurewidely usedEssenceHe opened a new era of human use and enabled humans to enter the “steam era”.In order to commemorate this great inventor, the descendants set the power unit to “Watt”

From the above description, we can see that Watt’s biggest contribution is to realize the application of steam engines.This is the charm of engineering.

02, engineering and science

Science has always been walking ahead. However, many scientific achievements have always stayed in books due to cost issues.People’s sight.

in other words,Scientifically solve theoretical problems and project solution to application problems.

03, the charm of engineering

We do a cell experiment. There is a instrument. I remember that I use gold powder and spend more money at a time. If this thing is applied, who can afford it?

Just like what I mentioned in another titles in injection, the cost of academic practices and the practice of small vendors are very different;

The cloning technology has matured very early, but the biggest promotion to the cloning is the British Dali sheep;

GM technology matures earlier and has more technologies, but the biggest driving force for genetically modified genes is Monsanto;

The atomic bomb theory matures very early, and it is the Manhattan project that promotes the atomic bomb;

Similarly, I mentioned that in 2015, the biggest achievement in the history of life sciences was not the improvement of CAS-CRISPR technology (there is also a Han Chunyu’s NGAGO this year), but the first time China Zhongshan University has edited human embryos with this technology.

This is the charm of engineering!One content that allows technology to enter millions of households, and one that allows everyone to get practical and benefit.

04, the application of science and engineering in the biological field

Let’s chat.In the biological field I are familiar with, Yuan Longping and Yuan Lao, known as the father of hybrid rice.I often see someone say why Yuan Longping can’t get itNobel Prize in Physiology and MedicineOr there are also conspiracy theories that Yuan Longping did not get academicians to the Chinese Academy of Sciences because offending people.

Regardless of other things, let’s see, Mr. Yuan Longping, what theoretical achievements are there in the research of life science?

Beginning in 1964, Yuan Longping studied hybrid rice technology. In 1973, he realized the three -series supporting facilities. In 1974, he was planned to be the first hybrid rice strong combination Nanyou No. 2.In 1975, the development of hybrid rice planting technology was successfully developed, which laid the foundation for the large -scale promotion of hybrid rice in the country.(Yuan Longping’s hybrid rice research is pioneering in China, but the first successful rice hybridization in the world was completed by American Henry Hank Beachell in Indonesia in 1963.) In Irri, Philippine International Rice Research Institute in 1966,The study of the hybrid rice of Yuan Longping (IR8) of Miracle Rice (IR8) is pioneering in China and China, but it is not the world’s first. The long -term friends of the New Town of Japan were supported by the triple -series of japonica rice in 1965, but they were not used for production.

Take a closer look, I found that there is no theoretical achievement. Wow, the basis for hybrid rice is the law of Montel 100 years ago, that is, Yuan Longping’s contribution to the progress of life science theory is about 0, and the contemporary Watson and KeRick proposes the famous DNA dual spiral, and SANGER is already planning DNA sequencing.This is the theoretical gapEssence

However,On the influence on society,,Yuan Longping’s achievements are no less than others than othersHybrid rice has made significant contributions to my country’s food safety.1976-2005, the cumulative planting noodles nationwideAbout 340 million hectares, increasing production of more than 450 million tons.Due to the great success of hybrid rice, Yuan Longping has won so farThe only national special invention awardThe first countrySupreme Science and Technology AwardAnd more than a dozen international awards including the UNESCO “Science Award” and the 2004 World Grain Award, which are known as “Father of Hybrid Rice “Essence

It can be said that Yuan Longping’s contribution to society is far greater than many pure theoretical scientists.In the first place in China, there was only the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but the selection criteria of the Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were:

existScience and technology fieldMakeSystem, creative achievements and major contributions, Love the motherland, study style decent. Researchers, professors, or scholars and experts with Chinese nationality can be recommended and elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This, basically it seems very unreasonable to exclude many engineers who have made significant contributions.Therefore, in order to solve this problem, many academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ran for the establishment of the Academy of Engineering. In 1992, after the discussion of Zhang Guangdou and Wang Dazhen, such as Zhang Guangdou and Wang Dazhen, after discussing it, Luo Peilin wrote a “About Establishment of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Technical Sciences as soon as possible.”Suggestion” reported to the central government, and the preparations of the Chinese Academy of Engineering immediately started.

In June 1994, our countryEngineering and technology industryThe Chinese Academy of Engineering, the highest honor and consultation academic institution, was officially established.The Chinese Academy of Engineering isChina Engineering Science and Technology CommunityThe highest honor and consultation academic institution, consisting of academicians, is committed to promoting the development of engineering science and technology.

In the second year of the establishment of the Academy of Engineering, in 1995, he joined the Academy of Engineering and became the second batch of academicians of the Academy of Engineering. This speed was sitting in the Rockets.The people who are top sky wow.

The selection criteria of the Academician of the Academy of Engineering

existEngineering science and technologyMake major, creative achievements and contributions, love the motherland, study style, and be upright, with Chinese nationality senior engineers, researchers, professors, or experts with the same professional title (including living in Hong Kong, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Province, and overseas Chinese in other countries.Chinese experts) can be nominated and elected as academicians.

However, Yuan Lao may win a Nobel Peace Prize.

05, about engineering

With so much nonsense, in fact, I want to explain a problem -the importance of engineering.

Perhaps engineering is not as easy as science to send Paper. Maybe engineering cannot do an egg cell fusion today like science. Tomorrow a Y chromosome knockout can be made.Go to enjoy technology.

Finally, make a summary of a high school composition style

Science and engineering are the two legs in the field of science and technology. Science provides theoretical guidance to engineering, and the project in turn promotes scientific progress.The two complement each other, and there is a lack of one.
