The scientific method owes its existence to Sir Francis Bacon. A
The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France was named
after someone; that someone was Gustave Eiffel.
This French civil engineer contributed to structural
architecture, and enhanced metal construction of
bridges.
One of the greatest contributors to dam
building and other earth construction was engineer
Arthur Casagrande, a pioneer in soil mechanics.
Fazlur Khan is largely responsible for
inspiring some of the most interesting structural
true Renaissance (Эпоха Возрождения) man, Bacon was also a
philosopher, statesman and lawyer in addition to being a scientist. He
died in the name of science, as he fell victim to pneumonia during one of
his experiments as he studied the effects of freezing meat.
Perhaps you’ve heard of the Bernoulli Principle? This is the
principle of fluid dynamics that is used in the construction of aircraft to
determine air speed. It was discovered by Daniel Bernoulli, son of a
renowned mathematician. Bernoulli also discovered how to measure
blood pressure, and was well known for his work on the Conservation of
Energy.
The Scottish engineer John Logie Baird invented a mechanical
television. While Philo T. Farnsworth would be credited with developing
the dissector tube that made electronic TV possible, Baird is credited
with providing the first televised objects in motion, and the first televised
human face, as well as demonstrating color television in 1928.
In today’s computer dominated society, it is important to pay
homage to Seymour Cray, the engineer believed to be the founder of
supercomputing, and the first to build a device making use of functional
parallelism architecture.
One of the most significant building advancements was the
production of inexpensive steel. And the engineer who created the
process for mass-producing steel was Henry Bessemer. Bessemer had
been working on a process similar to American William Kelly’s process,
and he bought the patent from Kelly. Today, steel is still made using
process based on Bessemer’s method.

The American engineer Edwin Armstrong is known for his
When you see truss bridges
spanning great lengths, you can thank
Wendell Bollman, a self-taught civil
engineer. His designs for ferry bridges
and other truss bridges have influenced
us for decades, even though there is
only one remaining “Bollman truss”
bridge still in existence.
English civil engineer George Stephenson built
the first public railway in the world that made use
of steam locomotives. The world’s standard rail
way gauge (измерительный прибор) is the
Stephenson gauge, named after the man who
developed it.
Even though the New
York Times panned Robert
Goddard‘s theories of travel
to the moon by rocket, he had
the last laugh. He built the
first liquid-fueled rocket, and
innovation of frequency modulation (used in FM radio and for other
purposes). He was also known for super heterodyning and regeneration.
Thomas Brassey was the premier contractor for prolific railroading
building throughout Europe, and is also responsible for Canada’s Grand
Trunk Railway.
One of the most influential aerospace engineers is Burt Rutan,
whose innovative designs are prominent in the Smithsonian National Air
and Space Museum. He is responsible for Spaceship One, the first
private rocket plane to put a person in space, and for the first airplane to
make it around the world without needing to refuel.
One of the most important rocket developers, especially of rockets
for the space exploration effort, was Werner von Braun. Initially working
for the Nazis, developing the V-2 ballistic missile, von Braun later
surrendered to the Americans ‒ along with 500 rocket scientists ‒ and
came to work in the U.S.
it has been a source of technological advancement for decades.

The Wright Brothers together
are credited with one of the biggest
inventions that have changed our
world. In 1903, after years of
experimenting with unpowered
gliders, it is believed they created the
world’s first successful powered
Willis Carrier. Carrier’s first air conditioning success came only a year
after he earned his Masters in Engineering from Cornell. And the rest of
us have benefitted every since.
The modern style Pitot tube was invented by Henry Darcy, an
engineer who developed a law describing flow in porous media. Today,
Darcy’s achievements can be seen in hydrology and petroleum
engineering.
Judith Resnik, a NASA engineer worked on orbiter projects and
influenced design procedures related to special integrated circuitry.
Unlike some of those mentioned in this list, Tesla received little of
the public acknowledgement that his work deserved. During his early
years he worked for Thomas Edison and it is claimed some of Edison’s
creations were based upon his work. Tesla’s pioneering work included
radio, X-ray machines and induction motors.
Tesla can be thanked for the alternating current and electrical
motors and even for his part in the Industrial Revolution thanks to his
expertise in the use of electricity and electrical engineering.
Sir John Ambrose Fleming is the inventor of the first vacuum tube.
His engineering feat is known as the precursor to electronics ‒ even
though the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated his patent.

creation of their airplane they explored the use of aerodynamic control

The Wright Brothers provide you with a number of options course
wise to follow in their footsteps. Firstly mechanical engineering may be
your first choice as engineers in this sector often find themselves
working in areas that relate to the Wright Brothers achievements. If you
want to specialize then maybe consider aerospace engineering or
automotive engineering.7
