Engineering conjures up visions of machines, autos and aerospace systems.

Vast strides in materials science has led to new equipment from archery to rowing. Curiously these efforts later end up in aerospace, defence and other esoteric applications. http://www.theengineer.co.uk/1012968.article?cmpid=TE01
