Abstract

[In this chapter, we return to engineering practice; to discover what forms of knowledge are relevant in that area. The idea underscoring much philosophical work on this subject is that technology is nothing other than applied science. We shall demonstrate that this idea is wrong: engineers do more than simply use scientific or applied scientific knowledge, they develop own forms of knowledge. We will give a number of examples of such specific technological knowledge and present a number of relevant specific features and characteristics.]
