Is the difference you're trying to paint perhaps a US only thing? I've never heard of this type of differentiation.

The exact delineation of "liberal arts" seems to be a US thing (not sure about "only").

However, in Germany we also have "Naturwissenschaften" and "Ingenieurwissenschaften".

So it's a common distinction: figuring out how nature works vs building stuff.
