Being more inclined/biased towards BSc-MSc rather than BTech-MTech / BE-ME (or vice-versa), just for the aim to obtain a decent job is not a smart idea.Many say, for example - Math is taught in its vastness in Science disciplines. True! Nobody’s denying! But you learn how to apply the Math in Engineering! Kindly do not shy out from recognizing this fact! And even in both the disciplines, you always have the option to go ahead with Master, Doctorate and Higher-Doctorate degrees.Comparing a science discipline with an engineering discipline just for the sake of calling one more substantial over another, is totally wrong and unjust.Let’s look at the definitions of both the terms: Science and Engineering; which will help.Science: The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. The word “science” is a Middle English term and comes from Old French, from Latin scientia, from scire (know/knowledge). A scientist is someone who conducts scientific research to advance knowledge in an area of interest. In classical antiquity, there was no real ancient analogy of a modern scientist. Instead, philosophers engaged in the philosophical study of nature called natural philosophy, a precursor of natural science. It was not until the 19th century that the term scientist came into regular use.Engineers: As practitioners of engineering, they are professionals who invent, design, analyse, build and test machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfil functional objectives and requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost. The word “engineer” is derived from the Latin words ingeniare (to create, generate, contrive, devise) and ingenium (cleverness).Science is about exploring some dimensions of your choice out of infinite knowledge. Engineering is about why to, what to, when to, where to, and how to apply Science.One should opt for a Science discipline to understand a particular subject of interest in depth and if the prime purpose is to attain knowledge. Take for instance if someone is passionate about a subject, and wants to explore the subject in depth, understand the concepts, one should go for a science course. And then you can even specialize in that subject depending on whether you want to, say for example, explore a particular area within Physics further or not.One should opt for an Engineering discipline, if he/she has the curiosity and the drive to implicate things, apply the information and the knowledge to solve real world problems. To solve real world problems, you have to have the edge to identify the problems in the first place, then get to know the reasons that cause them, and most importantly identifying ways to address them.You see, science discipline focuses on the actual subject - Physics, Math, Biology, Chemistry, Environment, Computer Science, Information Technology and so on. Whereas engineering discipline focuses on the application of subjects - Civil, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, Electronics and Communication, Information Technology, Automobile, Aeronautical, Environmental, Textile, Food and Dairy and so on.Let’s look at subjects from various streams in science disciplines: Calculus, Geometry, Algebra, Mechanics, Differential Equations, Numerical Methods, Numerical Methods Practical using C, Probability Theory, Linear Programming and Optimization, Zoology, Physics, Plant Physiology, Plant Diversity, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Environmental Science, Ecology, Cytology, Classification of Plant Kingdom, Classification of Animal Kingdom, Bio-Technology, Bio-Chemistry, Botany, Mathematical physics, Mechanics, Chemistry, Technical Writing & Communication in English, Oscillations & Waves, Electricity and Magnetism, Digital electronics, Thermal Physics, Microprocessors & Computer Programming, Optics, Quantum Mechanics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Electromagnetic Theory, Statistical Physics, Solid State Physics, Nuclear & Particle Physics, Mechanics and wave motion, Kinetic theory and thermodynamics, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Application of Computer in Chemistry, Analytical methods in Chemistry, Molecular Modelling and Drug Design, Novel Inorganic Solids, Polymer Chemistry, Research Methodology for Chemistry, Green Chemistry, Industrial Chemicals and Environment, Inorganic Materials of Industrial Importance, Instrumental Methods of Chemical Analysis, Basic Analytical Chemistry, Chemical Technology and Society, Chemoinformatic, Analytical Chemical Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry. (Jaw dropping! Is it not?)Some of the engineering subjects from various streams include - Mechanical Vibration, Finite Element Analysis, Fluid Mechanics, Advanced Thermodynamics, Theory of Computation, Advanced Microprocessor, Discrete Mathematical Structures, Advanced Database, Mechanics and Strengths of Materials, Design and Analysis of Building Structures, Advanced Structure and Fracture Dynamics, Computer Networking, Engineering Graphics, Big Data Processing, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Internet of Things, Natural Language Processing, Power Electronics, Power Systems, Analog Electronics, Statistics of Environmental Engineers, Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology, Principles and Design of Physico-Chemical Treatment Systems, Fluid Mechanics, Mass Transfer, Physical Chemistry, Solid and Hazardous Waste Management, Principles and Design of Biological Treatment Systems, Air Pollution Control, Computer Programming, Distributed Computing, Project Management, Communications Skill… and more! (Fascinating! Is it not?)Generally speaking, a person won’t go to a physicist or mathematician or biologist or environmentalist and say… “Will you please make a Computer? Or, Will you please make a Respiratory Ventilator? Or, Will you please build a Bridge across the River?” (Well! If the person is crazy, it’s a different matter! But I am speaking in general terms.) The person will go to engineers. The same way a person won’t go to an engineer and say – “Will you please help me understand Why Earth revolves around The Sun in an oval and not zig zag orbit? Or, how does a nuclear fission happen? Or, how does the cell-division happen in a human body?” These better be answered/resolved by science people, right?!The people from science stream, study, teach, develop and publish concepts, ideas and findings. The engineers, try to apply the knowledge to give the world what is needed or what they’re asking for.To Conclude,Scientists research, teach and revolutionize. Engineers create, solve, maintain and improve.Science is everywhere in the universe! Science disciplines has the objective to make you wiser by imparting the knowledge, making you recognize and acknowledge it, and thereby enabling you to spread the knowledge further, or research the infinite knowledge that is still unknown. Engineering is about creating what doesn’t exist (atleast on Earth!), and transforming, maintaining and enhancing what does exist!Engineers can be described as the ‘Jack of all trades and Master of none’. Science people are ‘Master of one or more trades and Jack of may be some’.Neither is perfect and neither will be! We’re humans! So, do not ridicule a discipline just because you feel more inclined towards another discipline.There is a purpose of both in the world! Stop saying one is vast or more substantial over another! No! Both are vast! It is upto you, your goals and objectives in life. Knowledge has no boundaries.There should not be comparison for a mere purpose of having a job. Don’t just opt for either of the disciplines only because you want a job. If a good job is all you want, don’t think too much, you’ll have it with your will and efforts anyways.Think broad! “What will you like to do for the rest of your life?!” That should be your question to yourself. And the answer is yours to find.Both BSc and BTech/BE are good. Go for either, based on your liking.Last but not least, go to a good (above average) university and college. It will make a difference!Hopefully this should resolve the biased-ness of minds, and helps a person to identify his/her ideal discipline for higher studies atleast upto some extent.Best Wishes,Dhairya VK Shah
