Nanotechnology for Chemical Engineers
- Share to:
Although the two terms “technology” and “engineering” are interlaced, the prin- ciples of each subject and their capabilities are quite different. Generally, de
fi
nition of technology is broader than that of engineering, and from a normative standpoint, it is a part of coevolution process with society (Keulartz et al. 2004). Technology emerges from ideas and wills for creating and utilizing the artifacts that ful
fi
ll human needs or desires. The outcome of technology is just producing and employing objects, and it does not depend upon thinking and using design equa- tions, theories, etc. Accordingly, skills and arts without speci
fi
c knowledge are
suf
fi
cient in creating and managing the technology. Understanding and improving the existing technology, or resolving the problems pertinent to it requires utilizing principles of science and engineering knowledge. Technology is more descriptive and empirical than engineering.
