== Origins of the show ==
Engineering the Impossible won the Beijing International Science Film Festival Silver Award, and earned Discovery's third highest Monday night rating for 2002. This resulted the production of Extreme Engineering series.
''Engineering the Impossible'' was a 2-hour special, created and written by Alan Lindgren and produced by [[Powderhouse Productions]] for the Discovery Channel. It focused on three incredible, yet physically possible, engineering projects: the {{convert|9|mi||adj=mid|-long|spell=in}} [[Strait of Gibraltar crossing|Gibraltar Bridge]], the 170-story [[Millennium Tower (Tokyo)|Millennium Tower]] and the over {{convert|4000|ft||adj=mid|-long}} [[Freedom Ship]]. This program won the [[Beijing]] International Science Film Festival Silver Award, and earned Discovery's second-highest weeknight rating for 2002. After the success of this program, Discovery commissioned Powderhouse to produce the first season of the 10-part series, ''Extreme Engineering'', whose episodes were written by Alan Lindgren, Ed Fields and several other Powderhouse writer-producers. Like ''[[Engineering the Impossible]]'', the first season of ''Extreme Engineering'' focused on extreme projects of the future. Season 2 (and all seasons since) featured projects already in construction around the world.

== Episodes ==
In the Engineering the Impossible pilot and early 1st season, Extreme Engineering focused on extreme projects that hadn't made it to the drawing board. At this point the show relies less on interviews with gritty blue collar working men and dazzling oceanscapes and has shifted to interviews with office-bound visionaries, interrupted here and there by dazzling computer generated graphics. However, given many of these speculations had been made before [[September 11]] attacks, later episode focused more on projects already started. Starting from season 2 and onward, only projects that had started during the production of TV series were covered.
