    Actually… “science” is a process of discovery about the natural world. To then use that knowledge gained would be engineering.

      Technically, yes, colloquially, no.

      It is very, very common for people to use science as a noun or even verb, to describe just… doing anything that requires an at least moderate understanding of some or multiple scientifc fields to be able to do properly.

        It is true that I ignored colloquialism.
