- Leonardo da Vinci - John Smeaton, first civil engineer. - James Watt, invented the steam engine, mostly self taught - Thomas Edison - Nikola Tesla - Henry Ford - LeTourneau (biggest wheel loaders in the world) - Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky (co founded rocket engineering)

or Oliver Heaviside (put Maxwell's equations in vector notation)
