Science consists of a body of precise statements which can be tested or proved.
It may be descriptive, observational, experimental, or classificatory. Statements of exact sciences are measurable in terms of numbers. Technology is intimately related to science. While science is concerned with the human understanding of the objective world, its inherent properties and their interactions, technology and engineering deal with the application of objective knowledge for achieving desired objectives and the tools and techniques for achieving the said objectives. Guided by science, technology and engineering check and contribute to scientific progress and human development.
