Excerpt from The Technograph, Vol. 36: Published Quarterly by the Students of the College of Engineering, University of Illinois, November, 1923The field of science may be divided into pure science and applied science. The distinction be tween pure and applied science is one not of method but of aim. The methods employed by the chemist and the physicist are to a very great extent the same as those used by the engineer. 7hi1e the worker in pure science is not necessarily interested in the utilization of his discoveries, it is a strik ing feature of the history of science that nearly every discovery in pure science has found a prae tical application. It is the province of the engi neer to select those laws known to science and to apply them to the solution of industrial problems. To make the application of known scientific facts and discoveries may require additional experiments on a much larger scale than was used in the original investigations. In engineering research, it may also be necesary to carry on investigations in pure science in fields not studied by the pure scientist. Engineering research requires that investigations shall be undertaken on a larger scale and makes it necessary to have special equipment and trained investigators.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
