  • Abstract
    Eighty years ago Thomas Tredgold defined engineering as “The art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man.” Progress in engineering has been greater in the eighty years which have elapsed since this definition was made than in the previous period of 4500 years beginning with the first great, tangible piece of engineering, the pyramid Cheops.
