As a matter of fact, since the dim ages of pre-historic times, the man has been practicing the art of engineering. And he started erecting very simple and ordinary types of structures (e.g., digging wells and making water courses for water supply and irrigation purposes) for his livelihood. With the passage of time the man, entirely on the basis of his practical experience and common-sense, created a few thumb rules to serve as a guide for erecting very ordinary types of structures.

It is only since the human progress had reached its revolutionary height, we call the dawn of civilization, the man actually started to design and build the structures according to his requirements. Since then, the man had been very eager to know more and more about the various aspects f his structures, especially regarding their uses and smooth workability. Experience taught him, and he continued to make progress in the art of engineering bit by bit.
