Re: Engineer vs. Inventor

Ugggggg... I was just reading this in my college textbook. I was very bored. Anyway an inventor and an engineer are two differnt feilds. An engineer uses scientific knowledge and follows a specific process to solve a problem. This problem does not have to be something new. He can improve upon a basic concept that is all ready been built. An inventor doesn't have to do any of that stuff. An engineer can be considered an inventor but an inventor can only be considered an engineer if a scientific process is being followed. So technically Dean Kamen is really an engineer more than anything.
