This paper describes the research and discussion on the news that a civil engineer, I. K. Brunel is selected as No.2 at the poll for the Great Briton. The news was a great shock wave to the Japanese Society of Civil Engineers, which has been seeking the way to improve the social status of civil engineers in Japan. The members of the UK branch of JSCE researched the popularity of I.K. Brunel, compared the difference of the civil engineers in two countries and derived the suggestion to the Japanese civil engineers.
