工程和工程教育哲学的一个目标是更清楚地区分工程和工程教育与科学和科学教育。本文提出科学活动与工程活动的区别之一是抽象思维的作用。工程和科学都从事抽象思维，但抽象过程的方向为两个学科指向不同的方向。本文提出的观点可能有助于澄清工程和科学之间的区别，这种区别不太容易基于纯粹活动和应用活动之间的假定差异进行价值判断。科学是从抽象的理论出发的，工程是从抽象的功能概念出发的。
A goal of the philosophy of engineering and engineering education is to more clearly distinguish engineering and engineering education from science and science education. This paper advances the suggestion that one distinction between the activities of science and engineering is the role of abstract thinking. Engineering and science both engage in abstract thinking, but the direction of the abstraction process points in different directions for the two disciplines. The view advanced in this paper may help to clarify the difference between engineering and science in a way that is less prone to value judgments based on supposed differences between pure and applied activity. Science proceeds towards abstract theory; engineering proceeds from the abstract idea of function.
