I'm a librarian so my mind immediately goes to the library: In the Dewey Decimal System, the 500 section is all Natural Sciences: observable things about the world. the 600 section is Applied Sciences: technology and how people USE science. eg. A book on astronomy would be in 500 while a book on telescopes or space travel would be in 600. When I explain it to my middle school students, I say, "the 500's are what we can see, the 600's are what we can do."

That’s excellent. Thank you!
I think your first-draft version is the more accurate and meaningful -- by a long shot.
Thanks, Mark. I might update to add that version, too.
Excellent!!! Speaks to the engineer in me (LOL). Two prints ordered.
Yes, in retrospect it does perhaps glamourise the engineering over the science =)
