You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out loud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Engineering has existed since ancient times as humans devised fundamental inventions such as the wedge, lever, wheel, and pulley. Each of these inventions is essentially consistent with the modern definition of engineering.
The term engineering deriving from the word engineer, which itself dates back to 1300, then an engine’er (literally, one who operates an engine) originally referred to “a constructor of military engines”. In this context, which is now forgotten, an “engine” referred to a military machine used in wars (for example, a catapult).
The word “engine” itself is of even older origin, ultimately deriving from the Latin ingenium, meaning “innate quality, especially mental power”, hence a clever invention.
Later, as the design of civilian structures such as bridges and buildings matured as a technical discipline, the term civil engineering entered the lexicon as a way to distinguish between those specialising in the construction of such nonmilitary projects and those involved in the older discipline of military engineering.
