I don't remember any of my fellow students or teachers feeling this way. In fact it seemed to me that the general consensus was that scientists and engineers go hand in hand. Scientists develop new technologies and engineers come up with a practical use for them.
It was the artists and architects that we always ragged on because they seem to have little understanding of how things actually work in the real world. I remember a discussion I had with an artsy friend of mine who likes cars. He was saying that adding downforce to a car increases its top speed. I tried to explain to him the physics of it and that adding downforce adds drag but he insisted that he knows physics and that I was wrong. Okay
