This is how I would like to interpret:

Scientist – discovers or invents the theory and proves the principles of the theory (more theory oriented)

Engineer – understands the science theory and applies it for the benefit of the mankind (a bridge between the theory and its practical application)

Technologist - takes engineering works into the reality (more application oriented)

- MS
