Hello student,

To resolve this confusion, first you need to understand the basic difference between the fields of Research and Engineering.

Research is the phenomenon of the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. It's main objective is to explore and discover new remarkable facts that have been unknown and seeked throughout centuries. So, here you would have to do multiple experiments and find out different things of the universe. This field requires immense patience and perseverance

Engineering is the the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures. It is based on the known facts of the universe and is used to improve human life on earth and make it more efficient. In this field, you need to have innovative ideas and problem solving skills to tackle everyday problems of the world

I hope this helps, All the Best!

Hi,

I hope you are doing well!

I think you should choose the one in which you have interest, if you are having confusion about what they do, let me tell you the difference, both are dealing with challenging the limits of the state-of-the-art. However, while the goal of researchers is to understand reality, that of engineers is to master it. Research is about pushing the boundaries of knowledge, whereas engineering is about increasing our capacity to act on our environment.

For instance, engineers do master the many industrial processes involving powders and grains, although researchers still struggle to understand the physics of granular matter. In contrast, researchers had predicted gravitational waves well before engineers managed to detect them. In practice, the research and engineering activities cross-fertilise, so that any scientist should keep a constant eye on the progress made by both communities.

Thank you!
