>>447022Scientific thinking is not really taught in general, but even less so as engineers. As engineers we are taught to apply engineering principles, formulas, processes, methodologies. Science is largely experienced as given tools to measure things.
In education and pop culture more generally, science is presented as an accumulation of facts and frameworks that explain the world in a mythological manner. We understand atoms as tiny balls, or tiny clumps of balls with electrons orbiting closely, for example. If you're more into science, then you understand electron ✨clouds✨. Mathematical formulas are simply not relevant. In that sense, science education is very disjointed with anything resembling solid philosophy of science one might read about in, say, Althusser.
