I really enjoyed reading some of David McCullough's histories of engineering. His books focusing on engineering include: The Path Between the Seas, The Johnstown Flood, The Great Bridge, and there might have been some in Brave Companions. I haven't read Americans in Paris yet, so that may have some engineering characters too.
