I suppose I should clarify. Engineering is an application of science, but applied science is not engineering. Applied science is something more broad and fundamental. You could say it seeks to connect fundamentals of science and tie them in to solving practical issues, addressing old problems in different ways, developing new techniques or technologies, etc.
