While scientists usually get all the credit for all of humanity’s scientific achievements, it’s actually engineers who build the things that make all that possible – from intricate lab equipment to large-scale city projects. Some of the best engineers ever also happened to be prodigious scientists, even if their names have now been largely lost to history.

A lady scientist?
The greatest Engineer is a person named Howard Wolowitz. Lol
I'm disappointed that there is no mention of John Luther "Casey" Jones.
Maybe mention Theodorus of Samos in part 2…
"That's HEDLEY!!"
Engineers build the world, architects make it look silly… 😛
I assumed that Nikola Tesla and Alexander Graham Bell would have been in the top couple of engineers.
Really surprised not to see Isambard Kingdom Brunel as #1. I guess he'll get his own full-length video.
Where is Isambard Kingdom Brunel ? its like having a list of the greatest boxers of all time and forgetting Ali or Tyson.
I wish Joseph Bazelgette had made the list. He saved many lives.
You forgot Spock. When I was in school for my engineering degree, one of my classmates said this. His reasoning was that Spock could fix anything with a screwdriver or a tricorder.
as a mechanic I will argue that no engineer is important. They are all absolute idiots
5:39 Otto is actually well known in Germany – in german, Petrol motors (the whole motors, not just cycles) are actually called "Ottomotoren", named after him. The McLaren 720S has a 4L (530 kW) Ottomotor for example. Next to WW2 and the HRE, the history of automotives, Otto, Benz are some of the biggest parts in german history classes.
As others have said, Isambard Kingdom Brunel should be on any list of history's greatest engineers. As well as John Moses Browning.
I would call it,"less known engineers"because you didn't mention George Stephenson,(train)Denis Papin and thomas Newcombe(steam engine) Eddison,Graham Bell ,and more,including Hedy Lamar,and the first lady,is a lip service, not because women can't be engineers just because men didn't let them….
Honestly the title is misleading. There were far more important engineers, especially during the industrial revolution in Europe. This list seems to be just a random assortment of people, some I would even question to be true engineers. There also seems to be a heavy bias towards women and non white "engineers" in this one.
Might want to check if the political views of your writer in this one outweighed the goal of making an actually accurate video
It's Headley
It's Hedley!
What no Aliens? Where would have those Mayan's been without the ancient Alien architects?
Dr Elwood Mead, the man who made the desert bloom. He was the engineer behind the Hoover Dam. Lake Mead is named for him. He was born in the small town I grew up in.
Some fuckn nerds in the comments
