Why Engineers Excel as Inventors
Summary
Do engineers make great inventors, or is it the other way around? In truth, the two roles are closely linked.
Engineers, regardless of their specialty, are paid to innovate by working with existing technology and enhancing it. This process often leads to the creation of new inventions that can be patented.
Engineers: Innovators for the Future
Throughout history, numerous engineers have also been inventors, names you're likely familiar with. Let's explore a few notable examples.
Leonardo da Vinci, a visionary of his time, conceptualized various flying machines, like helicopters and hang gliders, and designed military machinery. His foresight extended to civil engineering as well, with a 720-foot bridge design that has recently been actualized.
Eli Whitney, another famous inventor-engineer, developed the cotton gin and introduced the concept of interchangeable parts. While the cotton gin is his most famous invention, the idea of interchangeable parts has had a more enduring impact.
The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, are credited with inventing the practical airplane. Their initial 1903 patent application faced rejection, but their persistence was rewarded with patent
821,393 in 1906 for a Flying Machine.
The Modern Engineering-Invention Landscape
Today, inventors are celebrated and rewarded handsomely through patents, with many patented innovations credited to engineers. The number of patent applications continues to rise in the U.S. each year.
Choosing a career in engineering immerses you in a world of innovation and offers the opportunity to apply for patents yourself. Who knows? You might just create something that changes history.
