George Stephenson was a commendable magnate who shaped and cultivated the application of civil engineering. The goal of this essay is to explore George Stephenson's achievements. The essay will be divided into four main parts representing a concise biography of George Stephenson, the impact his work has had on my interest in civil engineering, the reasons why his work is worth studying, and an evaluation of the his achievements and contributions. George Stephenson, remembered as the "father of railways" [2], was born in Wylam in 1781 [3]. He initially started working with his firefighter father in the local coal mines when he was a teenager to support his family [4]. Because Stephenson grew up in a poor illiterate family [5], he was self-motivated to learn to read and write as soon as he could afford to pay for his own evening education [6]. Because Stephenson was fascinated by machinery, he was appointed engine maker at Killingworth Colliery in 1812 for his diligence [7]. Subsequently, in 1814, he successfully designed his first steam locomotive, the Blucher [8]. Then in 1825, he convinced Edward Pease with the breakthrough of the 8-mile railway in 1821 [9] and was allowed to work out the Stockton and Darlington Railway which was the first railway driven without animal power [10]. The success of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1830 [12] and the Rocket in 1829 [13] ensured its prestige. Subsequently, he was chosen as the first president of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers in 1847 [14] and died in 1848 [4]. Given my interest in civil engineering, I chose to study George Stephenson because he was an outstanding civil scientist and mechanical engineer. George Stephenson is thought to have established the ...... middle of paper ...... tephenson foundation, because he inherited fame from his father and financial support as George Stephenson became richer later in his life. Despite these criticisms, George Stephenson had certainly taken Britain forward in the development of railways and had paved the way for other engineers to follow. All things considered, he is considered a gifted and exceptional engineer who had an enormous influence on the application of civil and mechanical engineering to human activities. From the evidence discussed above, it is clear that George Stephenson was an exceptional figure. who sculpted the development of the civil engineer with his contribution to the railways. His triumph was notable, but his prestige could be shared between his son and his assistants. It is irrefutable that it laid the cornerstone for civil engineering and had its global impact on transportation.
