St. Patrick, as the patron saint of engineers, is credited with fostering the development of Arts and Crafts and introducing the knowledge of the use of lime as mortar in Ireland. He is also responsible for the initial construction of clay churches in Ireland in the 5th century A.D. Another of St. Patrick's achievements was teaching the Irish to build arches of lime mortar instead of dry masonry. These beginnings of ceramic work developed into organized crafts, and that's how St. Patrick became the patron saint of engineers.

Is Saint Barbara the patron saint of engineers?
St. Barbara is the patron saint of engineers and builders because of her changing in the design of the tower her father was building. The original design had only had two windows, but Barbara designed it to have three in order to pay tribute to the Holy Trinity. She explained this to her father, and he brought her before the judges and accused her to being a Christian. The judges condemned her to death, and her own father took her up to the mountains where he beheaded her. He was then struck and killed by lightning. This is why St. Barbara is also the protector against fire and lightning.
