“…The relationship between science and technology has been characterized by Gardner (1994) as follows: science precedes technology because technological development is based on scientific knowledge (Technology as Applied Science-TAS); science and technology are independent, with different goals, methods, and outcomes; technology precedes science, meaning that historically and ontologically it is situated before science to which it provides the instrumentation and artifacts necessary for its conceptual development; technology and science interact bidirectionally, the scientists and the technologists are learning from each other (Collier et al, 2011).…”

Today, technology and engineering, along with science, are the engine that ensures the development of society. Thus, this development should also be reflected in the school curriculum. Taking that into account, the contact of pre-schoolers and young school children with the study of these subjects should become compulsory /mandatory. These must be included in the curriculum and the education priorities for a future career would be appropriate to be the students' acquisition of concepts, skills and reasoning specific to the scientist, engineer and technologist. That is why, the integrated approaches, inquiry learning, problem based learning, practical and out of school activities are the most appropriate way to include these subjects/ topics in the curriculum. Along with the development of knowledge, skills and reasoning, the merit of these integrations is the contribution to the foundation of a scientific and general culture / knowledge. This study is a descriptive research study using a survey method. It aims to identify the opinions of a sample of 193 subjects with reference to the characteristics of the fields of technology and engineering, the relationship between them, and the occupations of an engineer and technologist.
