CONCLUSION
The Engineering community had began to develop
greatly in the early 19th century. So many changes on
production techniques took place. The British
engineers were able to design a simple machine that
was powered by steam, i.e. the steam engine. This
simple invention in British technology brought about
great benefits in the nation. It in turn boosted the
economic strength. All industries soon grew up as
labour was assigned to new machines. The
transportation, power and other basic sectors evolved.
The engine was used to create electricity and also used
to move caravans to aid transportation. Finally, this
evolution was spread all over the world and then
Engineering found larger grounds for exploitation.
