THE RISE OF ENGINEERING SCIENCE - DAVID F CHANN...

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.
