The behavior of soil either as a building material or as a load receiver is particularly important and presents a paramount significance in both infrastructure and building construction. Geotechnical engineering has shown a rapid development over the last fifty years and holds a prominent position in all scientific fields of engineers. This paper mainly aims at the historical background along with the progress made on Soil Engineering as an important branch of Surveyors, Civil and Mining Engineers, where, through an important citation of technical works and constructions over time, may be considered as a significant tool for teaching and education of students
