The author argues that the role of the engineer has expanded beyond the traditional categories of military and civil engineering due to advances in science leading to increased specialization. The author presents examples of engineering from ancient Rome to the late 19th century in areas including roads, bridges, railroads, and manufacturing, which provide context to the development of engineering as a practice.
