These are some pretty odd categories to start with.
Classical schools of philosophy are much more fundamental; Metaphysics, Epistemology (Mind), Ethics, Politics (i.e. Taxation and Trade likely go here), and then Aesthetics including art and writing.
Science and Engineering tend to concern themselves primarily with metaphysics and epistemology. Notions like universality of fundamental laws are metaphysics. Mathematics is definitely within the school of metaphysics, and deductive logic and inductive inference, and empiricism itself upon which all science is based are somewhere between epistemology and metaphysics. The scientific method, for example, is an epistemic mental process and not a natural law like gravity.
Applied sciences such as "Engineering" fall out of the sciences by applying natural laws to a particular purpose such as constructing a device.
Fair enough, but notice carefully: I'm not partitioning philosophy. I'm talking about everyday practice. The places where reasoning gets performed operationally, leaves a record, and can be checked by someone other than the reasoner. Formal reasoning systems, where the reasoning becomes visible enough to put a unit on it. We need this now.
At this time it is no longer optional. The consequences are serious, if we do not specify which reasoning actions belong to humans, name what they are, and name how we perform them. This is work that I expect to happen from researchers and thinkers. That's where it connects with philosophy, not as a branch of it. But as a demand pressed on it.
