Study Notes
Science
- Science is the systematic study of the natural and physical universe, including the behavior of matter.
- It relies on observation, experimentation, and measurement to formulate laws that describe these facts in general terms.
- Science encompasses theories, methods, and facts.
Technology
- Technology involves the practical application of scientific theories.
- It provides economical solutions to technical problems.
Scientific Method
- The scientific method follows a series of steps:
- Observation
- Asking a question
- Creating a hypothesis
- Testing the hypothesis
- Accepting or rejecting the hypothesis
- Developing a theory
- Alternatively, the steps can be as follows:
- Defining a problem
- Data collection
- Making a hypothesis
- Accepting or rejecting a hypothesis
- Developing a theory
Engineers
- Engineers utilize the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop solutions to technical problems.
