Evolution, of technology

Projection into the future is of course the goal of all professional education, and we at least mention the microelectronic, food, pharmaceutical, ceramic, and environmental businesses which may be major employers of chemical engineering students. The notion of evolution of technology fi om the past to the future seems to be a way to get students to begin thinking about their future without faculty simply projecting our prejudices of how the markets -will change. 

Chemical analysis is the proof of many innovations the evolution of technologies has led to the development of high-performance instruments allowing new possibilities, notably hyphenated methods and non-destructive methods. Non-destructive tests can be conducted on very small samples that do not necessitate extensive sample preparation. Users can finally acquire instruments that meet the quality and precision requirements necessary to obtain certification. This latter requirement is an important if not a sufficient condition to officially recognise the quality of results produced by a laboratory. Certification procedures are enforced by a number of testing bodies all over the world.

In archaeological chemistry, the study of technology takes several directions. The investigation of technology itself, how things were created or manufactured, is an important area. Information on the materials that were used, the temperatures, conditions, and methods of production can tell us about the capabilities of society and the evolution of technology.
