Questions and Answers

3 After collapse of Soviet union, the cold war regimecame to an end

Block based international alignments graduallyreceded and interaction between nations started toaccelerate

At Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summitin 1993, mobility of engineers was linked withinternational standards of competence for recognitionas Professional Engineer.

WTO founded in 1995 facilitated further on free tradeand services

APEC Engineers register, Engineers Mobility Forum(EMF) and ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement(MRA) etc. all encourage the services of ProfessionalEngineers with high professional standards.

5 The Washington Accord, is an international agreement

among bodies responsible for accrediting engineering

degree programs, which recognizes the substantial

equivalence of programs, having met the academic

requirements for entry to the practice of engineering.

Pakistan Elected as Member FEIAP-2011

PEC membership with Federation of Engineering

Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (FEIAP) is an

international recognition and trust on PEC

functions/system.

Pakistan has been declared as one of the member

economies of FEIAP during its 19th General Assembly

held in Singapore on 5th October, 2011.

Pakistan is the 22nd member to join the FEIAP

Objectives of Professional Development(Professional Competence of an Engineer)

Application of theoretical knowledge to practical situations and to evolve innovative solutions to resolve real life

problems.

Application of concepts and ingredients of management to professional works including relevant legal and financial

aspects.

Acquisition and application of necessary communication skills.

Knowledge of latest developments in various fields of engineering including information technology for specific

and cross discipline application.

Adherence to professional ethics and acquisition of a broader understanding of obligations of engineer to

society.

12

CPD ???

13

CPD provides a means whereby we can keep abreast ofongoing changes, broaden our skills and be moreeffective in our professional work.

CPD may be defined as the intentional updating ofprofessional knowledge and the improvement ofprofessional competence throughout a person'sworking life.

PEC took initiative in 2004 for CPD Framework

As per PEC Act: CPD means the systematic

maintenance, improvement and broadening of

knowledge, understanding and skill, and the

development of personal qualities necessary for the

execution of professional and technical duties

throughout the individuals working life.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)?

14

Professional Development of Engineers Byelaws 2008

(S.R.O. 1310(I)/2008 dated 26th December 2008)(Effective from 10th July 2010)

Powers and Functions:

To prescribe, monitor and review standards of

professional development in line with internationally

recognized standards

To coordinate implementation of CPD activities

To regulate the engineering professional bodies

imparting CPD

To record and quantify CPD for each registered person

& issue certificate for CPD status on demand

To conduct EPE and publish results of the same

To perform any other function related to professional

development of engineers.

6. A registered engineer may appear in EPE after a minimum fiveyears of practical experience and he (registered engineer)may be given the following credit of experience if he hasobtained a recognized post-graduate engineering degree, asunder:

(a) M.Sc Twelve Months

(b) Ph.D Thirty-six Months

Provided the degree is obtained under an accredited engineering programme.

Possible Exemptions etc. from CPD (continued...)

38

In the event of a registered person not

complying with the requirements of the

CPD, the Council may adopt the following

courses:-

The concerned engineer may be required to follow an

Non-Compliance for CPD

39

25. Any person aggrieved by any order of

the Committee may challenge such order

before the Council within 30 days, whose

decisions shall be final.

Reference to Council

Strategy (three pronged):

1. PEC regularly conducts CPD activities for its

growing engineering community.

2. CPD activities through PEC accreditedEngineering Universities/ institutions as PEBs

3. CPD activities through Professional Bodiesand Technical Organizations as PEBs :

IEP, IEEP, IMEP etc.

The EPE is optional for a registered engineer but is an

essential part of assessment for the title of

Professional Engineer.

For assessment of engineering competence,

knowledge & skills of an applicant engineer, the PEC

shall hold an examination.

Eligibility:

5-years practical experience after initial registration as

RE and has earned requisite credit points


59

The examination comprises of three parts: Part-1(2 hours) common to all Part-II(2 hours) discipline-based breadth examinations - open book Part-III (3 hours) discipline-based depth examinations - open book

MCQs based examination system

Qualifying marks for each Part = 60%

Qualifying all three parts is mandatory

The examination shall be held twice a year

An application for EPE shall be supported by two professional engineers with minimum 15 years of professional standing.

The Council shall charge such fee as specified by it from time to time for CPD and EPE
