I don't think it uses science, other than scientifically studied development processes, and how many start ups use thast? If you count computer science, I'd kick the can down the road and ask if computer science is a real science? Does it use the scientific method? It seems more as applied mathematics.
- kdoherty 11y agoScience involves the application of the scientific method. Take academic research, for example. Engineering may involve the scientific method, but it isn't required to validate that scientific knowledge was used. Scientific knowledge could be an algorithm for autonomous environment mapping. Implementing that in an autonomous car and ensuring system functionality in the many possible environments it might end up in, that is certainly a feat of engineering.
