what is the difference between engineering and technology?also write the types of mechanical engineering and define any five of them.

Engineering is a Technology Based Study. So the Difference is obvious. Whatever would be the field without technology engineering is incomplete. Going to Types it may be robotics, optics,automotive, crygenics etc.

Engineering vs Technology

Engineering and technology are intertwined terms in society. To understand the difference between engineering and technology, one needs to know what their meaning is. While engineering is a field of study, technology is application based upon science and technology. We know that science is knowledge or understanding about a subject or phenomenon of natural world. It is a knowledge based upon logic and experimentation that is verifiable. Example of science would be study of Nuclear Physics.

Engineering is both a field of study as well as application of knowledge (scientific) to create or produce something such as products and something structural. If some principles and methods of a science subject such as Nuclear Physics are used to make a structure such as a Nuclear reactor, the reactor would be called an example of engineering.

Technology is also an application of knowledge gained through science and engineering fields to make or produce complex structures. Examples of technology would be parts of latest appliances and complex applications.

Thus it is clear that engineering is a discipline of study that imparts scientific knowledge of designing and building structures, machines, materials, systems and processes as well as application of this knowledge for production of all such categories. When we use the word engineering college, we mean a place where different streams of engineering are taught to students who later qualify to work as engineers in different sectors of economy.

The word technology is commonly used in processes where our knowledge of science and engineering is used to control and adapt to our environments. The term technology was first used to describe the ability of human beings to convert natural resources into tools for use.

Both engineering and technology affect society and human life in general. It is through the use of engineering and technology that a nation makes use of its natural resources. These two are indispensable for growth of infrastructure and economic development of any nation. Leaps in science, engineering and technology help in advancement and betterment of human life and are invaluable in saving humanity from many natural and man made disasters as well.

hi!!

both are co-related to each other.one type uses the other for the establishment of new ideas which ultimately helps the mankind with the advancement in methods as discussed below;;;

=---------------------------------------------------------------------=======
Engineering is a process in which one puts the knowledge and the facts and rules or some scientific research application program which when produces the outcome in desired form gives rise to technology.

---== it deals with the ways by which one can construct the new ways by which technology can be improved

---== engineering constructs and improve the technology

=----------------------------==----------------------------------------------

Technology is something which always keeps on improving due to the scientific research and advancement in engineering

---== technology keeps on improving all the time due to advancement in thoughts of the engineers which then use their knowledge to give constructive and some times destructive methods of application

---== technology deals with the methods to improve engineering
