Medieval Engineering

“So then it appears the possibility of the origin other word as coming from an
apparent evolution from the original Low Latin, ingegniarius, referred to "that who
uses an machine (engine)" — engine itself coming from ingenium, that is, clever
creation”

Medieval Engineering has a long history dating back to antiquity and likely even earlier. Without engineering we would not have designed cities, advanced argiculture or even ships. While there are many engineers that can be mentioned some stand out more than others while yet others go almost unnoticed.
