On this day let us honor the contributions of this industrious breed of individuals which we call the “Engineers”. From the Train that you commute to work in, to the Smartphone that you hold in your hands and the App that you use to order your food; Engineers create the World around us as we see it. It is hard to even imagine that the Human race could have progressed as far as it has today without the contributions of Engineering.

From the invention of the first Steam Engine to the Industrial Revolution to the current Digital Age, Mankind has grown leaps and bounds just because some passionate Men believed that it could be done. Engineering is inarguably a core tenet of the Modern Civilization.

“Engineering is the Art of directing the great sources of Power in Nature for the use and convenience of Man”

• Thomas Tredgold

(Famous British Railway Engineer)
