SANCLEMENTE, Carlos. Colombian engineering's evolution. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2011, vol.31, suppl.1, pp.16-20. ISSN 0120-5609.

We have chosen an assay by Carlos Sanclemente (its former student and professor) to illustrate the 150^th anniversary of the Universidad Nacional's Faculty of Engineering as part of our coverage of the historiography of Colombian engineering. He presented it as an academic in March 2005 when becoming eligible for membership of the School of History of Engineering and Public Work. We remember his words as a fortunate synthesis of the evolution of Colombian engineering. His dissertation included a description of the following items: the Spanish inheritance, technological awakening, railway initiatives, the diversification of transport, integral development, the institutions so involved and their pioneers.

Keywords : the history of Colombian engineering; transport; railways.
