This blog originates from a mythical supremacy of science degree coming from a friend of mine.
First of all, there is no doubt (at least to me) that science sounds cooler than engineering just because of the amount of math and whatever is required to study the natural sciences, which are usually not required to the same extent for engineering because it also requires other skills such as application and creativity.
From this argument, clearly there’s no winner regarding which field is harder since both require different sets of disciplines. The illusion that engineering seems to be easier is merely a byproduct of how broad the field is, with so many possibilities that the more difficult aspects get harder to notice.
The statement that science is cooler than engineering now sounds no more convincing than intellectual masturbation.
