Tech in the Trenches

In many eras throughout history, war has been a reality. Each war has brought new inventions and technologies to the forefront. Often what changed the landscape of war and even led to victory was the technology that was available or created during this time. History buffs and future engineers alike will fall in love with this cross-disciplinary series that marries technology with American history. This series spotlights several main technologies that benefited either the war campaign or humanity itself during specific periods of difficulty and strife. They cover not only the effect these technologies had on a war, but also how those technologies worked, and who or what made it possible.
