Engineers and architects are people who directed building and engineering works, such as the designers and managers of palaces, city walls, bridges and water-control works, and in modern times engineers of railways, bridges, buildings and industry. Their achievement appears in building manuals, works records and surviving structures. They differ from master craftsmen in large works and technical systems rather than single crafted objects, and from inventors in directing construction rather than devising a single new device.
