A statue of Isambard Kingdom Brunel on Temple Way, Bristol, Avon.
The statue was presented to Bristol by the Bristol and West Building Society, it was created by sculpture by John Doubleday and unveiled 26th May 1982. It was moved from its original site at Broad Quay in 2006, the bi-centenary of Brunel's birth. Not only does it now front the modern offices of Osborne Clarke the firm of solicitors who did much of Brunel's legal work, but also waymarks the new additional access to Brunel's great station, created with development of Temple Quay. Another statue by Brunel, by the same artist, is located at Paddington Station, the eastern end of his great railway.
was an English mechanical and civil engineer who is considered "one of the most ingenious and prolific figures in engineering history", "one of the 19th century engineering giants", and "one of the greatest figures of the Industrial Revolution, changed the face of the English landscape with his ground breaking designs and ingenious constructions". Brunel built dockyards, the Great Western Railway, a series of steamships including the first propeller-driven transatlantic steamship and numerous important bridges and tunnels. His designs revolutionised public transport and modern engineering.
Though Brunel's projects were not always successful, they often contained innovative solutions to long-standing engineering problems. During his career, Brunel achieved many engineering "firsts", including assisting in the building of the first tunnel under a navigable river and development of SS Great Britain, the first propeller-driven ocean-going iron ship, which was at the time (1843) also the largest ship ever built.
Brunel set the standard for a well-built railway, using careful surveys to minimise grades and curves. This necessitated expensive construction techniques and new bridges and viaducts, and the two-mile-long Box Tunnel. One controversial feature was the wide gauge, a "broad gauge" of 7 ft 1⁄4 in (2,140 mm), instead of what was later to be known as 'standard gauge' of 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm). The wider gauge added to passenger comfort but made construction much more expensive and caused difficulties when eventually it had to interconnect with other railways using the narrower gauge. As a result of the Regulating the Gauge of Railways Act 1846, the gauge was changed to standard gauge throughout the GWR network.
Brunel astonished Britain by proposing to extend the Great Western Railway westward to North America by building steam-powered iron-hulled ships. He designed and built three ships that revolutionised naval engineering.

Summary: Pioneering female aeronautical engineer Laurel van der Wal (d. 2009) (later Laurel van der Wal Roennau) had had a brief career as a model, art instructor, and deputy sheriff before training to be a pilot during World War II; she returned to University of California to become an aeronautical engineer, winning the Society of Women Engineers Achievement Award in 1961 when she was head of bioastronautics at Space Technology Laboratories. The 1961 press release announcing award emphasized that the "pretty head of bioastronautics at Space Technology Laboratories, Inc." was a "former model" even though the Los Angeles Times had recently named her 1961 Woman Scientist of the Year. She was a specialist in engineering problems of manned space flight, including effects of weightlessness, radiation protection, and development of data handling and processing systems

Wikipeida: James Watt
James Watt was born in Greenock, in the west of Scotland, on the 19th January 1736. The site of his birthplace, although the building no longer exists, is marked by a statue of Watt.
James Watt died in Birmingham in 1819.
The unit of power the WATT, 1 joule per second, is named after him. The term horsepower, was first used by him. One unit of mechanical horsepower, or imperial horsepower, is about 745.7 watts.
