Brief History of P.E.Jp and IPEJJun.1951 "Gijutsushi-kai" was founded in order to help establishment of consulting engineers’
framework in Japan.
May 1953 The English name “Japan Consulting Engineer Association (JCEA)“, for "Gijutsushi-kai" was adopted.
May 1957 The PE Act - "Gijutsushi Act" (Act No.124/1957) was enacted.
Jul. 1958 The first examination of PE was administered.
Mar.1959 The JCEA was authorized under the PE Act.

Apr. 2000 The PE Act was partially amended to become the PE Act of 2000 (Act No. 48/2000).
Nov. 2000 The APEC Engineer assessment and registration was formed.
Jan. 2001 The JCEA was renamed to “The Institution of Professional Engineers, Japan (IPEJ)”.
Apr. 2006 APEC Engineer assessment and registration was expanded to include all Technical Disciplines and Optional Subjects of P.E.Jp.
May 2007 IPEJ’s new logo mark was established.
Apr. 2011 IPEJ is officially recognized as a Public Interest Incorporated Institution..
Jul. 2011 Eight IPEJ branches merged to form the new IPEJ’s Regional Headquarters.
Apr. 2012 IPEJ’s prefectural branches were organized.

Administration of Japanese P.E.Jp System
The Minister of Education, Culture, Science and Technology (MEXT), administers the P.E.Jp systems in accordance with the P.E. Act (Act No.25/1983)
The Institution of Professional Engineers, Japan (IPEJ), a Public Interest Incorporated Institution, manages examinations and registration for the P.E.Jp as a nationally recognized organization designated by MEXT.

Professional Engineer, Japan (P.E.Jp)
Professional Engineer Japan (abbreviated to “P.E.Jp”) is the national qualification for engineers stipulated by the Professional Engineer Act in Japan.
P.E.Jp is defined as an engineer who is engaged in the professional practice of rendering services for science and technology in planning, research, design, analysis, testing, evaluation, and training in such work, which requires application of extensive scientific and technical expertise.

Obligations of P.E.Jp in accordance with PE Act
• Prohibition of Acts to Damage CredibilityNo PE nor associated PE shall take action which harms the credibility and/or dishonors the reputation of
other PEs and/or associated PEs. (Article 44, PE Act) • Obligation to Observe ConfidentialityNo PE nor associate PE shall reveal or misappropriate the confidential information without justifiable
reasons that have been caught in one’s own business. This obligation shall remain after losing their certification of PE or associated PE. (Article 45, PE Act)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Requirement of CPDAn act to amend part of the Professional Engineer Act was promulgated on April 26, 2000. The Professional Engineer Act of the latest amendments clearly stipulates that every professional engineer shall have sufficient knowledge of the professional ethics and shall continue, after the acquisition of the qualification of professional engineer, professional development as one of his or her obligations so as to improve the competence of the professional engineer.
In response to the amendment, the Institution of Professional Engineers, Japan implemented CPD and defined the purpose of CPD as follows :
Every professional engineer shall continue his or her professional development with an emphasis being place on the following points:- Awareness of engineering ethics- Contribution to advance in science and technology- Adaptation to changes in social environments- Improvement of ability of judgment as professional engineer
Expected CPD hoursIt is desirable for each professional engineer to carry out CPD programs 50 hours/annually, 150 hours within three years (in case of APEC engineer, 250 hours within 5five years). (CPD hours are obtainable by multiplying the number of hours actually spent for CPD by a weight factor).
Types of CPD programs for Professional EngineersMany types of CPD programs are conceivable, and every professional engineer should voluntarily choose the programs most suitable to the engineer's CPD and work on the chosen programs. However, in the case of choosing any CPD programs, it is desirable for each professional engineer to select such CPD programs, each of which can be, as much as possible, recognized as a CPD achievement by any third party.
