Through Engineering, human achievement continues to advance.

your favorite example of engineering in action and what impresses you about it
from an Engineering standpoint.

The breakthrough of humanity had forge ahead as time elapsed. As changes

surge in a blink of an eye, engineering came along forging advancement through
unlimited ideas human could possibly imagine. Humans are capable of rationalizing and
with this sole idea, it is human nature to understand the world we live in. In the history of
globalization, development was so good intellectuals escalated their studies to a place
beyond human habitation; space. Because of this discovery, the idea of a device
launching into the air was developed which we all call, the rocket.

According to Stamp (2013), the idea of rocketry was a product of inspiration

during the Sung dynasty (A.D. 960-1279) in China through the invention of gunpowder.
The device was first used in war as military equipment. Since then, creation of cylinders
launching into the skies was made possible by humans with the help of controlled
explosions. The principle behind this military device have taken on many roles as
weapons, fireworks, signal guns, until the development of rockets for a purpose of
space expedition.

Through the help of engineering principles and disciplines, human expanded to a

whole study of science; astronomy. Rockets don’t function as simply pushing the device
against the air. Human took advantage of a quantity of motion called momentum, the
quantity of power a moving object has. Moreover, the effectiveness of a rocket is being
understood through the mechanics of the rocket which is initially calculated from its
starting position up to the moment it launches to space. This is just one of the examples
of how engineering aided development. As you look around, growth would not be
possible if its not with the engineering realization.
