significance that were led by engineers from
the region.

 
  • To highlight to the general public the range of works carried out by the engineers over the millennium.
  • To provide student engineers with a historic context to their engineering studies and to help them to relate their branch of engineering to other disciplines.
  • To enable second level students gain an
    understanding of exciting challenges in the
