Hebert & Ekelund's splendid book is the obvious choice. Vauban, Charles
Ellet, Jr. & Dionysius Lardner's names should be added to that of Dupuit.
Two engineers have also influenced Walras (Achylle-Nicholas Isnard, whose
Traite des richesses 1781 is available through gallica.fr and Louis Poinsot

in describing some of the theories of engineer economists.
