The most impressive episode of technological and scientific progress is the Islamic Golden Age, which took place from the 8th to the 14th century. Particular attention is given to engineering. Therein, this paper will closely consider the works of such brilliant Muslim engineers as Al-Jazari and the Banu Musa brothers in their designing sophisticated mechanical devices that represented complex automata, advanced water clocks, and complex irrigation systems. Indeed, these inventions showed great knowledge in mechanics and hydraulics; detailed manuscripts recording them made their influence felt in the engineering practices of both Islam and Europe. Thus, it is this embedding of practical engineering solutions with scientific inquiry that enabled the era to further the development not only of mechanical devices, but also laid the bedrock for modern engineering principles. The paper threads through the historical contributions of engineers in the Golden Age of Islam and their legacy in terms of shaping the course of technology advancement and human knowledge.
