The Ohio State University Abstract – This paper introduces the development process of a unique course, History of AncientEngineering, which blends numerous areas of science and technology. Development of such a course thatintegrates two different major subjects, i.e., history and engineering, and the inclusion of pertinent areas suchas agriculture, archeology, architecture, arts, chemistry, civil, geography, geology, hydrology, metallurgy, andphysics. While the historical aspects focus on the when, where, who, and what, the engineering aspects wouldendeavor to solve the why, how, made from-what, and occasionally, what-if questions associated with ancienttechnology. The goal of this course is to increase the student’s technical literacy by
