Okay so for me, it took a bit to think about how I wanted to answer this question. After a few minutes I got it. The way in which I wanted to define the term “engineering” for this class was to break it down into a two definitions. First will be the literal and second is the more analytical and my full take on the term. So let’s get to it, the literal is the idea of how the past has always had a “engineering” aspect as it has buildings that have shaped history and kept history intact with its engineering feats. For me an in depth answer for the term engineering means how using tools that have been presented we can engineer the past. Using these tools such as the module 2’s historical thinking we as historians can engineer or render an idea of what events took place. In simpler terms one can even take Prownians Analysis and “engineer” the past events based off of the evidence found in primary sources.
