Civil Engineering is an age-old profession and has been
defined traditionally as "a great art, on which the wealth
and the well-being of the whole of society depends. Its
essential feature, as distinct from science and the arts, is
the exercise of imagination to fashion the products
processes and people needed to create a sustainable physical
and natural environment. It requires a broad understanding
of scientific principles, knowledge of materials and the art
of analysis and synthesis.
It also requires research team
work, leadership and business skills." A Civil Engineer
is someone who practices all or part of this art. Our
old monuments and structures speak a lot about practical
development of Civil Engineering in this country.
