      Hi Lillie,

      Good question- first of all I think of myself more as an engineer then a scientist. In my opinion engineers are much better 🙂 And the reason is I get to take science and turn it into practical real life solutions to everyday situations. For example, being an engineer I understand how the machines that make coca cola work and because of this I can help make them run more efficiently and save energy to help the environment.

      So being an engineer is really interesting, beneficial and fun! Does this answer your question?

      Hi Lillie 🙂

      I do a mix of science and engineering and it is a lot of fun. I do the research side and the engineering side as Danielle said is finding ways to manufacture the food!

      It is great because you get to do interesting experiments and with an engineer you can be creative and have more ideas and put them into action. It is some hard work but like anything if you like the work you enjoy it.

      Hope that answered your question
