Explanation:
Well, this is strange. I think, sibsab is right, and the expression probably means mechanical technology, but if you would like to translate it properly, it should be technological mechanic or maybe technological mechanics. In this phrase technologica is the attribute, this is an adjective, so it should be translated as technological. And mechanica is a noun, so it should be translated as mechanic or maybe mechanics. Depending on the whole sentence, both can have a meaning. But though I think sibsab is right.
This explanation is rather about the specialities of the modern use of an ancient language.
