 How are science and technology
related?
 Science contributes to technology in at
least 6 ways:
1. New knowledge which serves as a direct
source of ideas for new technological
possibilities

 Science contributes to technology in at
least 6 ways:
2. Source of tools and techniques for more
efficient engineering design and a
knowledge base for evaluation of
feasibility of designs

Brooks, H. The Relationship between science and technology. Elsevier Science. 1994. 477-486.
 How are science and technology
related?
 Science contributes to technology in at
least 6 ways:
3. Research instrumentation, lab techniques,
and analytical methods used in research
that eventually find their way into design
and industrial practices

related?
 Science contributes to technology in at
least 6 ways:
4. Practice of research as a source for
development and assimilation of new
human skills and capabilities eventually
useful for technology

 How are science and technology
related?
 Science contributes to technology in at
least 6 ways:
6. Knowledge base that enables more
efficient strategies of applied research,
development, and refinement of new
technologies

 How are science and technology
related?
 Technology contributes to science in at
least 2 ways:
1. Providing a fertile source of novel scientific
questions and thereby also helping to
justify the allocation of resources needed
to address these questions in an efficient
and timely manner, extending the
agenda of science

least 2 ways:
2. Source of otherwise unavailable
instrumentation and techniques needed
to address novel and more difficult
scientific questions more efficiently
