Pakistan – Engineering
Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) chairman Engr. Waseem Nazir has announced the revamping of the council’s Continuous Professional Development (CPD) program, claiming, “We shall bring its standards to the international level.”
“Enhancing the skills and ability to perform professional work for engineers is a must,” Engr. Nazir said in a video message released by his media team. “It is a prerequisite under the PEC Act & Bylaws. It accumulates CPD points for qualifying EPC. I think we need to greatly improve it so that the capability of young engineers is enhanced.

“Our objective is to ensure that our engineers are skillful, competitive, and knowledgeable as they progress in their professional lives. We want to make this process equivalent to global standards. We will design a revised program, and engineers will receive it, based on international best practices.”

“For me, the future of engineers is more important than mere politics. Politics will not benefit engineers.”
“We have announced a crash program under which over 30 webinars, seminars, and lectuers will be organized throughout February. Engineers should participate in these programs to raise their capabilities. We will continue the program in March as well, and by that time, the program will be revamped for the future.”
