From the era of cavemen to the era of smart phones,
mankind sure saw incredible journey towards development. It wouldn't be an
exaggeration to say that we owe most of it to some to the remarkable engineers
of the world. If it weren’t for the toil and brains of all the successful
engineers of both past and the present, we wouldn’t have been able to get this
far as a group of developed nations.
There have been many engineers who have turned the world
around with their inventions and achievements, centuries long.Here is a cursory
look at some of the top engineers who made a significant contribution in
shaping the world as it stands today!
