The article features William Rankine, a pioneer of the introduction of the university engineering degree in the University of Glasgow in Scotland in 1872. Born in Edinburgh in 1820, Rankine became a civil engineer and eventually led investigations on several issues in his field, such as a mathematical description for heat, concepts in thermodynamics, and axle and railway car construction techniques. Aside from his sense of humor, Rankine is known as an amateur singer and player of piano and cello to his friends.
