Science and engineeing may be intimately intertwined, but technology does not "depend on" science in any straightforward way.
Sure, technology does not depend on science in a straightforward way - it's dependency is quite complex but it's there. You can't translate Schroedinger's equation directly into an understand of semiconductors but you certainly need the basics of quantum mechanics for an understanding of modern chips.
