Reference excerpt

The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) is an independent federal agency under the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) whose mission is to regulate engineering profession and practices while providing the accreditation of engineering education in Pakistan. Besides accredition of engineering degrees, the PEC registers and grants licenses to engineers to provide engineering consultany to the active firms as well as taking steps in promoting the engineering education in the country.

Overview The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) was established as a regulatory corporate agency through the parliamentary legislation on 10 January 1976. Established of the PEC as a regulatory agency was a result of long-drawn lobbying of engineering community at the highest levels of the Government of Pakistan to regulate the safe engineering practices and promotion of engineering education in the country. On the matters of engineering and environmental development, the PEC represents the engineering interests of the development projects to the federal government of Pakistan as well as the provincial governments. Among its duties also relates to act as an education accredition agency and as a engineering consultant to the federal government on undertaking efforts in establishing the scientific measurements and standards for innovation and services to the benefit of the country. In 2001, the peer review of quality of engineering education in the nation was conducted by the PEC which was critical in making the Higher Education Commission (HEC) to review the quality of the engineering education programs to produce the most qualified engineers to uplift the economic development of the country. In 2010, the PEC became a provisional member of the Washington Accord and was admitted as a full member in 2017, which strenghthened its position as a credential accredition agency worldwide. In 2011, it became a provisional member of the International Professional Engineer (IntPE) Agreement (IPEA), and became a full member in 2018. In 2021, PEC signed a memorandum of understanding with the Shenzhen University to develop and apply Internet of things as part of the Belt and Road Initiative in China and Pakistan. The PEC headquarters are located in Islamabad and with regional offices in all major metropolitan cities of Pakistan.

Corporate affairs

Headquarters and regional offices The Pakistan Engineering Council's headquarters are located in Islamabad. On 28 July 1987, the civil engineering construction of the headquarters' began when President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq laid the foundation stone and the headquarters' building was inaugurated by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on 14 October 1992. The PEC has regional offices in four provinces, namely its head offices are located in the provincial capitals.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pakistan Engineering Council

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pakistan Engineering Council claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Pakistan Engineering Council before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Pakistan Engineering Council ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Pakistan Engineering Council

In research: Pakistan Engineering Council appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Pakistan Engineering Council in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Pakistan Engineering Council is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1976 establishments in Pakistan, Aerospace engineering organizations, Chemical engineering organizations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pakistan Engineering Council outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
