Engineering and science

Science cannot answer all questions. It can, however, give some good indications, exclude certain hypotheses. Engaging in the pursuit of science may help us make fewer mistakes. It s a sort of gamble. 

As links between the fields of engineering and biology, biological engineers must appreciate the identities and personalities of both groups. Differences between science and engineering that should be appreciated by both sides fall into three different perspectives (1) phylogeny, (2) motivation, and (3) methods (Johnson and Phillips, 1995).

For some sciences, the early phases began long ago. The science of mechanics, for example, entered its descriptive phase before the time of Aristotle, but the science of electricity was still partially random in the time of Ben Eranklin and the science of genetics entered a long descriptive phase in the time of Gregor Mendel.

In general, science is concerned with generafion of scientific knowledge, which ripens in the academic circles including improvement of existing theories or suggestion

This is not to say that we deem these topics not to be important. On the contrary, we think that those interested in chemoinformatics should strive to obtain a basic knowledge of these subjects. We even think that all professionals in natural sciences and engineering should in future obtain a minimum of training in these fields during their studies. However, presentation here of those aspects of informatics would go beyond the scope of this book.
