Impossible Engineering (2015)
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
Although this show does lack in the animation and graphical effects it is very good at the history of the engineering topic. The show highlights a project and then goes back in history and explains how the technology was developed. The show highlights several different specific engineering challenges relevant to the project and then tells the history behind each challenge. The show really dives into the historical significance of engineering ingenuity and how it impacts the project. They cover old technology and why it didn't work and what replaced it and why it's better. I find this show to be very interesting and well done from an Engineers standpoint. The show really encapsulates the saying "Standing on the shoulders of giants" from Issac Newton stating that his discoveries were dependent on other peoples past discoveries.
