Scientific Method
Scientific Method: Come up with a testable question, make a hypothesis, and then conduct experiment/tests and collect data to prove or disprove the hypothesis.
Engineering Design: Identify a problem and then work to come a solution. This process generally involves creating a model or prototype that can be designed, tested and improved if necessary.
