Smeaton is considered to be the first expert witness to appear in an English court. Because of his expertise in engineering, he was called to testify in court for a case related to the silting-up of the harbour at Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk in 1782.He<\/g> also acted as a consultant on the disastrous 63-year-long New Harbour at Rye, designed to combat the silting of the port of Winchelsea.He<\/g> is most<\/g> famous civil engineer in the world.The project is now known informally as “Smeaton’s Harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Wright<\/g><\/strong> born on October 10, 1770.The<\/g> American Society of Civil Engineers declared Benjamin Wright the Father of American Civil Engineering<\/em><\/strong>. He was the Chief Engineer during the construction of the Erie Canal. Benjamin Wright helped build transportation and canal systems in the United States and served as the chief engineer on the construction of the Erie Canal. Wright\u2019s influence was so widespread that by the mid-1800s almost every civil engineer in the country claimed some connection to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the age of 70<\/g> Wright retired but still found time to chair the committee designed to establish the country\u2019s first national engineering society. Wright passed away in New York City in 1842, but in 1969 the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) declared him \u201cThe Father of American Civil Engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year later, the ASCE and the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers donated a plaque to mark his birthplace in Wethersfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
