Manick Sorcar (formal name Prafulla C. Sorcar, now retired) was a leading electrical engineering
consultant, specializing in lighting since the early 1970s and was
a registered professional engineer in many U.S. States. Shortly after
graduating with his master’s degree in electrical engineering
from the University of Washington (Seattle, USA), where he attended
on a full scholarship, Sorcar started his life in professional field as a junior electrical engineer with
'Howard.Butterweck & Co', a reputable consulting engineering
firm of Denver, Colorado. Sorcar quickly worked his way up to the
position of vice-president when the company incorporated in 1974
having him as one of the principals and changing its name to
"Butterweck-Sorcar Engineering, Inc." Twenty six years later the firm became "Sorcar Engineering, Inc.", where he served as its Chief Executive Officer and President. Sorcar had been the project engineer
for a variety of small to large multimillion dollar projects which
included Denver International Airport, Colorado Convention Center,
Laboratories for Colorado Department of Health and Environment,
Denver Justice and Detention Center, a palace for prince H.H. Faisal Bin Sultan in Saudi Arabia, and
several sport centers in Japan. After 38 years of highly successful engineering business Sorcar honorably retired from engineering in 2012 to devote full time to his other love - art in many forms.
