Mind-Blowing Engineering: How they built the Great Wall of China, Panama Canal and more...

Ever seen an incredible building and wondered how it's made? Or taken a trip and wondered how much work it took to get you there? 

Engineering plays a part in almost every element of our daily life, whether we are using an app on our phone, crossing a bridge on an afternoon walk or driving to work in our cars. Consistent innovation in engineering has a huge effect on how we live our lives, and without it we wouldn’t have many of the things that we consider a necessity today. 

Today we’ll be looking at some of the biggest engineering marvels of the world. These incredible structures broke the boundaries of what is possible and have stood the test of time. Engineers in history have pushed the boundaries of science, technology, construction, manufacturing, architecture, and so many other areas to create these marvels.

These marvels faced some incredible challenges such as location, weather and logistics, but the hard work of the engineers behind them paved the way for many of the tools and techniques we use today.
