Science Systematic effort of acquiring knowledge


through observation and experimentation coupled
with logic and reasoning to find out what can be
proved or not proved.
Engineering is the application of objective
knowledge to creation of plans, designs and means for
achieving desired objectives.
Technology deals with tools and techniques for
carrying out plans.

What is Civil Engineering?
A branch of engineering that contains
design, construction, and management of
residential and commercial buildings and
structures, water supply facilities, and
transportation systems for goods and
people, as well as control of the environment
for the maintenance and improvement of
the quality of life.
