Science, engineering and technology are sometimes used interchangeably. The fields are related but quite distinct though. Science is the study of the natural world.Its sub-disciplines include physics, chemistry, biology, geology etc. For instance, mechanics is the branch of physics that seeks to determine the effect of forces on objects.An example is determining, understanding and codifying the laws that describe the trajectory of an object under the influence of a force in a gravitational field; like the loop of a cricket ball from a spin bowler.
Engineering involves the creating of new tools, devices and processes based on scientific observation and theory.An engineer would use the principles and laws of mechanics to design, build and test a bowling machine for assisting in the training of batsmen. Design is thus central to all engineering disciplines.
Technologists are involved in applying these approved engineering tools and technology may be defined as the collection of tools and techniques. Bowling machine technology would be then the available bowling machines, their principles of operation and maintenance. This would include electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic systems.
