Genius (technical)

The genius is the art of the Engineer.

At the XVIIe century, “one understands by this term the science which an engineer must have, which consists mainly in the knowledge of the geometry, the fortification, the attack and the defense of the places. One gives also this name to the body of the engineers of the King, i.e. the officers in charge of the care to take care of the construction and the maintenance of the fortifications of the kingdom and the control of the seats.”.

The term passed in the civil field and one speaks then about " genius militaire" , in opposition to the " genius civil". Civil engineering then indicates art of civil constructions and by extension the body of engineers in charge of these constructions. The " term; engineer civil" appoint moreover in France generally the engineers who are not civils servant (in France, " civil engineer of the mines" sometimes appointing the qualified engineers of the 3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of the mines of Paris, in opposition to, the civil servant mining engineers of the State generally recruited at the exit of the Polytechnic school and formed with the ENSMP. One can also refer to the Company of the civil engineers created by qualified engineers of the central School of arts and manufactures). Other adjectives can be associated at the end " génie" according to the fields, giving for example the " genius maritime" , i.e. art to build the vessels and by extension the body of officers instituted to apply high sciences to the naval architecture (see for example in France the creation of the School of the engineer-manufacturers of the royal vessels become thereafter the 3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of the marine engineering).

The word generally currently indicates know-how relative to a discipline, talent or particular aptitude; one speaks for example:

* military Engineering,
* Civil engineering,
* mechanical Engineering,
* Electronic engineering,
* Industrial engineering,
* data-processing Genius (to which belonged the software Genius),
* Chemical engineering,
* biomedical Genius;
Which recently came to be added a new discipline: the
* ecological Genius
