1. RENASCENT ENGINEERING

2. Renaissance and Engineering Occurred from late 1300s, Southern Europe experienced the initial stirring of a profound movement known as RENAISSANCE. French word means REBIRTH, refers specially to an artistic and intellectual renewal movement which sought to encapsulate the idea that it was time to put aside of the unenlightened Medieval practices and seek revival of the more uplifting facets of chemical cultures of the anscient world, especially that of Greece. For engineering, renaissance proved to be highly consequential for underlying reasons: Crafting Proficiency Private Wealth Interest In Novelty Indeed, this renascent engineering era became the springboard to an expansive and subsequently Modern Age

3. FLORENCE DOME Renaissance was the time of great beauty and art. This time was a time when Venice was the world’s busiest seaport and Florence was the heart of great art. In 1430s, Multitalented Italian craftsman Filipo Brunelleschi became the principal designer and construction supervisor for the most prestigious project of the time, the dome for the Cathedral of Florence Italy.

5. MOVABLE-TYPE PRINTING The trend of Medieval times toward mechanization and iron working, proved to be of particular relevance to the renaissance because somr of the evolving crafting skills stimulating interest: MOVABLE-TYPE PRINTING The idea of block printing was first conceived in China about 200 BCE when page-sized stone surfaces were incised with ideographs and then coated with ink for pressing onto paper. With the metal advancement, the German artisan JOHANNES GUTENBERG developed a means precision casting thr mirror images of alphabetic letters at the end of punches made of an alloy of tin, lead, and antimony

7. MOVABLE-TYPE PRINTING By 1454, Gutenberg had organized the first commercial printing operation based on this movable type concept and other competing printing enterprises soon followed. 50 years later: 10,000 printing presses 50,000 titles a year 25 Million books A deciption of this Renascent development is suggested by this connectivity:

8. MOVABLE-TYPE PRINTING Though the idea of printing a page in one operation had been known as block-printing for centuries, the Gutenberg invention further required the development and integration of several techniques and devices: working with soft metals Precision casting of interchangeable alphabetic characters Development of non-smudging and fast drying ink Adaption of the wine press Standardization of a multi-stage production process The experience of Gutenberg and his movable type printing press device also changed technical practice, for now a range of skills and knowledge all associated with a device had to coverage

10. OCEANIC EXPLORATION Toward the end of the Medieval period, European mariners had adopted the magnetic compass much as it is presently known as a freely rotating balanced magnetized needle with a windrose background in a fully endosed a glass-covered wooden box Also adopted: Sand glass for short time Two addition devices and in sailing a far from coastal visual reference point: Coastal Map and Knotted Rope

11. OCEANIC EXPLORATION Oceanic exploration by european was initially motivated by a very specific commercial interest prompted by crusading knights and other adventure who had returned from Middle East with tantalizing objects such as species, dyes, silk and porcelain Early 1400s, Portugal Prince Henry- Henry the navigator, promoted a national interest in shipbuilding and navigation. Portugese Caravel, a highly maneuverable ship design About 1450, as a result of Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian ship building and sailing experience a sturdy ship design emerged with considerable stowing volume and survival capacity against off shore distance sailing.

12. OCEANIC EXPLORATION FAMOUS EXPLORERS: Bartolomue Dias –exploration of the east african coast (1488) Christopher Columbus- discovery of the west indies (1492) John Cabot- Newfoundland (1497) Ferdinand Magellan- global circumnavigation (1519-1522) Galleon served well as both warships and traders and were soon also used on numerous colonization routes by European. By anology to movable-type printing, this process of oceanic exploration may be associated with the progression of material and information flow:
