The implications of this knowledge-generation approach todiscipline exploration are then applied to Software Engineering as an engineering discipline.This application aims at distinguishing Software Engineering from the scientific and engineeringaspects of Computer Science.A cursory introduction to the literature of the philosophy of engineering reveals competingviewpoints on what distinguishes scientific from engineering knowledge, including engineering(and technology) as applied science (2 p. 42) and the influence of knowledge generation as ameans to distinguish between ‘scientific’ and ‘engineering’ knowledge. When seen through thelens of a pragmatic theory of knowledge, the crucial characteristics of scientific
