The Engineer is a London-based monthly magazine covering the latest developments and business news in engineering and technology in the UK and internationally.
The journal was founded in January 1856.
History and description
The Engineer was established by Edward Charles Healey, an entrepreneur and engineering enthusiast with financial interests in the railways whose friends included Robert Stephenson and Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The journal was created as a technical magazine for engineers.[1]
The Engineer began covering engineering including inventions and patents during a high point of British economic manufacturing power. In the 19th century it also published stock prices of raw materials. Together with the contemporary Engineering journal the work is considered a valuable historical resource for the study of British economic history.[2]
On the 16th July 2012 the journal announced its final print edition,[3] the magazine subsequently returned to physical publishing of its work.
