What do engineers do? In building construction, Engineers are the invisible presence that brings the architect or designer’s concepts into reality. In a broad sense, architects create the ‘skin’ defining the usable space that we live and work. The Engineer relies on the physical sciences to create a “skeleton” of interconnected elements that support the shell in the physical world . British structural engineer Dr. E. H. Brown
