Summary/Abstract: The great world of Engineering has outbursted in its all different aspects, from university education to technological and industrial development, both civil and mechanical engineering, as well as electrical and chemical, aerospace and computer science. Due to major concentration on research and innovation, projection toward an inexhaustible technological development affecting relevant and everlasting changing of everyday life, history has been neglected. These continuous changings lead to an overgrowing disorientation and suspicion among people since technical and scientific culture is unprepared to face political and social demand of an historical period in which regressive tendencies against scientific progress arise.
