Engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change… Engineers operate at the interface between science and society… ~ Dean Gordon Brown
In India, Engineers' Day is celebrated on 15 September every year.
The day is the birthday of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya (1860–1965), an eminent Indian engineer from the College of Engineering, Pune (University of Pune) and statesman born in Muddenahalli-Kanivenarayanapura in present-day Karnataka. He served as the chief engineer during construction of Krishna Raja Sagara on the Kaveri River near Mysore. He also built many dams in the Bombay presidency (present-day Maharashtra). The dams built by him are still functional today, a testimony to his engineering skills.
To commemorate the birthday of Bharat Ratna Sir M Visvesvaraya, many annual events take place in India. National level organizations like The Instituitions of Engineers (India) conduct meets and events on this occasion.
emotional part of engineers' college life which everyone misses during their lifetime.
