    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.
