Cambridge Engineering: The First 150 Years takes the reader on a
journey that starts with the genesis of engineering as an academic
discipline, leads to the creation of the Department in 1875, and
looks forward to its plans for the 150th anniversary in 2025. The
history is told through the extraordinary lives of engineering
leaders, who fought through the initial derision of other
disciplines to take the faculty from a workshop in a wooden hut to
stand as the largest department in the University. The narrative
comes right up to date with stories from the latest research and
its positive impact on the world. Cambridge Engineering concludes
with the vision for the future as the Department moves to its new
state-of-the-art home at West Cambridge and takes a global lead in
redefining the discipline. Richly illustrated with images from past
and present, this hardback will appeal not only to alumni, but to
anyone, old or young, who is ready to explore how engineering has
changed the world and dream how it will drive further revolutions.
