Abstract
- The author discusses the misidentification of engineers as scientists and engineering achievements as scientific achievements. He comments on the rescue of 33 Chilean miners in October 2010 which the newspaper "Wall Street Journal" described as a combination of science and miracle when in the story itself the quote mentioned engineering instead of science. He mentions scientist Theodore von Kármán's distinction between scientists and engineers with engineers as creators of new things.
