How it evolved
THE TIMELINE

What is it?

THE CONCEPT
Before the industrial revolution, workers have been doing everything by
themselves. Everything that needs manpower was done by human hands
manually from construction, production, manufacturing, etc. This lifestyle
motivated engineers to come up with an idea and innovate a way to make
things easier and with fewer risks for humans. This led to an age called the
Industrial Revolution, this age has the concept of replacing manpower and
animal power with machine power. Industrial Revolution leads to increased
production and efficiency, lower prices, more goods, improved wages, and
better housing as well as migration from rural areas to urban areas.

Who made important contributions?
THE PEOPLE
JOHN SMEATON (1724-1792)
Credited with being the first person
to call himself a civil engineer.
Smeaton’s work was backed by
thorough research, and he became
a member of the prestigious Royal
Academy of Engineering.
THOMAS FARNOLLS PRITHCARD (1723-1777)
The first tunnel under the Thames for

made plans for a bridge in cast iron.
He’s the one who built Iron Bridge, the
Kingdom Brunnel. His bold projects
world’s first cast iron bridge, opened
for traffic over the River Severn in
Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, England.
ABRAHAM DARBY III (1750-1791)
He commissioned the casting of an
iron bridge at a nearby foundry. In
1802 the Coalbrookdale Works built
the first railway locomotive with a
high-pressure boiler, for Richard
Trevithick, an English engineer and
inventor.
ABRAHAM DARBY (1678-1717)
The first to create robust, thin pots
for the poor using cheaper iron
instead of brass. Coalbrookdale
foundry prospered under his son and
grandson.

Brunnel and his son, Isambard

communities and towns saw new

JOHN BLOOMFIELD JERVIS (1723-1777)
John Bloomfield Jervis began
building in 1837 after many plans
and a two-year plan was
abandoned. He designed and built
his own engine, called the
Experiment.
JOHN ROEBLIN (1806-1869)
A German immigrant to the US,
designed the Brooklyn Bridge, the
first suspension bridge using steel
cables. From 1867 to 1883, the
bridge was planned and built.
