What would you call a person that puts scientific knowledge into practical use?

Being a modern human.Specifically "engineering" might be a term for such a process.


The use of scientific knowledge for practical purposes is called?

One contributor has suggested that "Technology" is the answer. Here are some additional ways we could consider this question:EngineeringInnovationEntrepreneurshipEngineering gets my vote because it is about application of the scientific knowledge. Wikipedia provides a good definition of Engineering:Engineering is the science, skill, and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design and also build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.Innovation is a good description of this practical use of knowledge because it supports the adoption of the technology across society at large through market mechanisms.So that we avoid having too lofty a view of science and technology, we should remember that on a daily basis, a farmer makes practical use of scientific knowledge and the technologies relating to chemistry and physics.Thus, taking JB Say's 1803 definition of "Entrepreneur" (An economic agent who unites all means of production) we could rightly say that a farmer is an entrepreneur, and the farmer's work is based on the practical use of scientific knowledge.
