The 18th and 19th centuries saw the emergence of new intermediary
types of knowledge in areas such as applied mechanics, fluid
mechanics and thermodynamics, which came to be labeled as
engineering science, transforming technology into the scientific
discipline that we know today. This book analyzes how the
Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries and the
Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries provided the
intellectual, social, economic and institutional foundations for
the emergence of engineering science. The book then traces the rise
of engineering science from the 18th century through the 19th
century and concludes by showing how it led to new technological
developments in such areas as steel production, the invention of
internal combustion engines, the creation of automobiles and
airplanes, and the formulation of Mass Production and Scientific
Management all of which brought about major transformations in the
materials, power sources, transportation and production techniques
that have come to shape our modern world.
