- Abstract
Engineering heritage like all heritage is public property. The engineering profession has responsibility not only for identifying and conserving the engineering heritage but for educating the public. In carrying out the educative function engineers evaluate and interpret part of the cultural heritage. Educational work traditionally focuses on books and displays. There is a very significant but as yet unexploited opportunity for education about the engineering heritage through engineers participating in preparation of learning materials for schools, which is worthy of consideration. Efforts already made by other professionals such as architects show promising results.
