They can design the chicken coop, but only for spherical chickens in a vacuum.

Just like the Tesla Truck!
Though lack of both physics and engineering is on display there.

It also fails from the arts and sociology perspectives.

Ask a
physicianphysicist to build a bridge, it collapse but he knows exactly how and why it collapsed.Ask an engineer to do it, it holds but he has no idea how it’s holding together.

What’s the first indicator a scientist tried to build their own experiment using the soldering station ?
The smell of burnt fingers.
What’s the scientist waiting for sitting in front of their own experiment ?
Waiting for the infinite loop they coded to finish after they claimed they didn’t need the engineer’s help to write the code in their experiment.
How many scientists do you need to change a light bulb ?
Theoretically just one, but it can take several until one of them can call an engineer and admit they only know how to change light bulbs theoretically.
What does a scientist call an electrolytic capacitor ?
Acid distribution subsystem.

IIRC they all learn some physics at engineering school. Even the software engineers.

I did chemical engineering because it only required two physics courses.
And because I like chemistry.

Engineering is more like accounting, but for objects instead of money. Tables, rule books, and lobbyists.
