The Pakistan EngineeringCouncil is a statutory
body, constituted under the PEC Act No. V of 1976 and amended
vide Ordinance No.XXIII of 2006, to regulate the engineering
profession in the country such that it shall function as key
driving force for achieving rapid and sustainable growth in all
national, economic and social fields. The council shall as its
mission set and maintain realistic and internationally relevant
standards of professional competence and ethics for engineers.
Its main statutory functions include registration of engineers
and consulting engineers, accreditation of engineering
programmes run by universities/institutions, ensuring and
managing of continuing professional development, assisting the
Federal Government as think tank, establishing standards for
engineering products and services besides safeguarding the
interest of its members. The council shall encourage, facilitate
and regulate working of professional engineering bodies as
learned societies for creativity and custodians of technology
under the umbrella of the council.
PEC interacts with the Government, both at the Federal and
Provincial level by participating in Commissions, Committees and
Advisory Bodies. PEC is a fully representative body of the
engineering community in the country.
PEC has also been providing support to the Government in
conducting technical enquiries and recommending remedial
measures on the subjects referred.
Over the years, the Pakistan Engineering Council has become an
influential voice, which speaks for the engineering profession
as a whole in the country. It forms an effective bridge between
Government, industry and education.
PEC maintains a very lean secretariat at its Head Quarters at
Islamabad and branch offices in all the provincial capitals.
