Engineering - is a complex science that explore the technosphere, or important for its development of the phenomenon.The first scientists who have made a great contribution to the development of technical sciences were Heron, Archimedes, Papp, Leonardo da Vinci Vitruvius.The first of these was the science of mechanics.Also, a significant contribution to the art made by such scholars as William Sana'a, Roger Bacon, Thomas Bradwardine, D. Uffano, George. Vignola, W. Gelbert.
until about the 19th century, scientists have isolated only two kinds of sciences: humanities and natural.Engineering took an intermediate position.After all, technology - a product created by man and not found in nature.At the same time it is subject to all the same laws as the natural objects.The main task of technical science is to study the laws of man-made phenomena and their relationship to the natural sciences.
History of Science and Technology includes the discoveries and achievements of great men.We talk only about the two famous Russian scientists - of the Lomonosov and Mendeleev.
Lomonosov - the great Russian scientist, historian and geographer, chemist and physicist, astronomer and instrument makers, studied the natural and technical sciences.Laid the basic laws of the science of glass, has been developing a prototype of the helicopter, as he discovered the atmosphere of the planet Venus.I create a project now known Moscow University, which was later named in his honor.
Mendeleev - Russian scientist and physical chemist, metrology, technology, geology and meteorology, an economist, instrument and balloonist.The most important and well-known scientific discoveries - a periodic law of chemical elements.He also discovered the critical temperature, studied the phenomenon of isomorphism, created a device that determines the density of the liquid (pycnometer), is the author of the textbook "Organic Chemistry".
What are the technical science?Here are just a few examples.
- Architecture - is the art of design and construction of various buildings and facilities that are necessary for a person of his daily life.Also called appearance architecture structures.
- Computing - is a relatively young discipline that studies issues related to the collection, storage and use of a variety of information in the areas of human activity.
- Space - is a technology and science missions in space with the help of manned and unmanned vehicles.
- Mechanics - a branch of physics that studies the movement and interaction of bodies.This science can be divided into several sections - classical, relativistic and quantum mechanics.
- engineering - a sector whose mission is to design and manufacture all sorts of devices, tools, defense products and consumer goods.Divided by the total, heavy, medium and fine.
- Chemical technology - the industry is studying the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective methods and means of the processing of natural materials into intermediate products and consumer products.Divided into organic and inorganic.
- Electrical Engineering - engineering is the branch of science that studies the production, distribution and use of electricity energy.Mark regardless of physics science in the late 19th century.
- Nuclear energy - is the energy industry, which produces heat and electricity through the conversion (the reaction of nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium) nuclear energy.
- also include engineering science biotechnology, shipbuilding, metallurgy, materials science, system engineering, astronomy and astrophysics, and many other industries.
Basic methods of technical sciences - is a computer and mathematical modeling implemented or proposed structures.
