The nineteenth century has been considered the era of engineers because of their marked work in the design and implementation of all types of infrastructure, such as lighthouses, ports, railroads, roads, supplies, radio antennas, telegraphs, cable stations, etc. Their actions were instru- mental in the development of European colonial empires on a global scale (Smiles 1862). The nineteenth century also represented a change in the sense that engineers became professionalized. To date, we commonly see the continuity of scientific families and dynasties holding a sort of local monopoly over the design and awarding of various engineering works, including fortifications and military engineering barracks, bridges, churches, sewers, warehouses, and various civil engineering works. As the nineteenth century progressed, administrations modernized and gained access to these professionals, who will bring new ideas and break with a traditional system of seeing cities, their metropolitan areas, and their connection with communications and new logistics needs, with a modern vision of the concept and influenced by a global vision (Safford 2014, pp. 197–252). These are professional profiles halfway between classical engineers and scientists, with the main objective of achieving useful knowledge with a clear characteristic: that of achieving rapid implemen- tation in reality in cities, ports, etc. These figures usually coincide with the phases of design and execution and, often, the elaboration of th
چکیده فارسی
قرن نوزدهم را عصر مهندسان میدانند زیرا در طراحی و اجرای انواع زیرساختها مانند فانوسهای دریایی، بنادر، راهآهن، جادهها، تجهیزات، آنتنهای رادیویی، تلگراف، ایستگاههای کابلی و غیره فعالیت میکنند. اقدامات آنها در توسعه امپراتوری های استعماری اروپایی در مقیاس جهانی ابزاری بود (اسمایلز 1862). قرن نوزدهم همچنین نشان دهنده تغییری در این معنا بود که مهندسان حرفه ای شدند. تا به امروز، ما معمولاً شاهد تداوم خانوادهها و سلسلههای علمی هستیم که نوعی انحصار محلی بر طراحی و اعطای کارهای مهندسی مختلف، از جمله استحکامات و پادگانهای مهندسی نظامی، پلها، کلیساها، فاضلابها، انبارها و کارهای مختلف مهندسی عمران دارند. با پیشرفت قرن نوزدهم، دولتها مدرن شدند و به این متخصصان دسترسی پیدا کردند که ایدههای جدیدی را به ارمغان میآورند و از سیستم سنتی دیدن شهرها، مناطق شهری آنها و ارتباط آنها با ارتباطات و نیازهای لجستیکی جدید، با چشماندازی مدرن از مفهوم و تحت تأثیر یک چشم انداز جهانی (سافورد 2014، صفحات 197-252). اینها پروفایل های حرفه ای در نیمه راه بین مهندسین و دانشمندان کلاسیک هستند، با هدف اصلی دستیابی به دانش مفید با یک ویژگی واضح: دستیابی به اجرای سریع در واقعیت در شهرها، بنادر و غیره. این ارقام معمولاً با مراحل طراحی و طراحی مطابقت دارند. اجرا و اغلب، شرح و بسط th
