3. Prehistoric Engineering
Introduction to Prehistoric Engineering:
•Intheprehistoricera,engineeringemergedfromnecessity—shelter,tools,andbasic
infrastructu2retoensuresurvival.
•Early humans used natural materials like stone, wood, and bone to create simple tools, which
laid the foundation for early technology.
Key Innovations:
•Stone Tools:Hand axes, spears, and knives used for hunting and gathering.
•Shelter Construction:Early dwellings like caves, huts made from branches and animal skins.
•Agricultural Tools:Simple plows and irrigation systems that supported early farming.
•Transportation:The invention of the wheel around 3500 BCE for moving goods and people.

4. Introduction to Medieval Engineering:
•The medieval era saw significant advancements in
engineering, with a focus on military defense and
monumental architecture. Engineering was used to support
growing civilizations, religious structures, and emerging
technologies.
Key Innovations:
•Castles and Fortifications:Structures designed for defense,
with elements like moats, towers, and drawbridges.
•Gothic Cathedrals:Featuring flying buttresses, ribbed vaults,
and pointed arches, allowing for large and ornate stone
buildings.
•Water and Windmills:Early forms of mechanized power used
for agriculture and basic industry.
•Mechanical Clocks:Early advancements in timekeeping and
machinery.

5. Present
Engineering
Introduction to Present Engineering:
•Modern engineering is marked by rapid technological
advancement and innovation, impacting nearly every aspect of
human life. Engineers today work in a wide range of fields,
including civil, mechanical, electrical, and software engineering.
Key Innovations:
•Skyscrapers and Modern Infrastructure:Advanced
materials like steel and reinforced concrete allow for
massive buildings and complex transportation networks.
•Renewable Energy Technologies:Solar panels, wind
turbines, and hydroelectric power plants driving the shift
towards sustainable energy.
•Automation and Robotics:Automated systems and AI-
driven robots are revolutionizing manufacturing, medicine,
and everyday tasks.
•Information Technology and Telecommunications:The
internet, mobile devices, and 5G networks have reshaped
global communication and data transfer.

6. Engineering Through the Ages:
•Prehistory:Basic tools and shelters for survival.
•Medieval Times:Improved structures and machines
like castles and windmills.
•Present Day:Advanced technology in buildings,
energy, and electronics.
