ENGINEERING IN ANCIENT TIMES 1. The term engineering appeared only in the 13th century. In ancient times people had a general idea of engineering. Early civilizations would be impossible without the use of technical knowledge and skills. Even at that time, people built large cities. Since ancient times, people have built bridges, canals, harbors, roads, etc. People who were involved in building those structures were called engineers. They constructed, designed and supervised large drainage systems, buildings, and military machines. They used intuition and personal experience.

Moreover, Ancient Rome was famous around the world for its engineering achievements. The arch is the best example of the Roman engineers'success. They used the arch shape in the construction of the bridges and aqueducts to supply people with water. The Romans were also famous for constructing large buildings and bridges from concrete.
