\nIn a major boost to the international mobility and recognition of Pakistani engineers, the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) has secured a six-year extension in its full membership of the International Professional Engineers Agreement (IPEA), under the umbrella of the International Engineering Alliance (IEA). The announcement was made during the IEAM 2025, held from in Mexico. PEC was represented at the meeting by Senior Vice Chairman, Engr. Dr Sarosh Lodhi.
\nThe IPEA is a multilateral agreement that facilitates the cross-border recognition of experienced professional engineers among member economies. With this extension, engineers registered with PEC as International Professional Engineers (IntPE-PAK) will continue to enjoy professional recognition in all IPEA member countries without the need for further assessment. This development marks Pakistan\u2019s sustained compliance with global benchmarks in engineering standards, regulation, and practice.
\nPakistan first attained full IPEA membership in June 2018 after a rigorous peer-review process by the IEA. Since then, PEC has implemented a robust system to award the IntPE title to qualified engineers, enhancing their credibility and employment prospects abroad. The six-year renewal acknowledges PEC\u2019s commitment to upholding international best practices in engineering education, professional development, and ethics.
\nChairman PEC, Engr Waseem Nazir, termed the extension a landmark achievement for Pakistan\u2019s engineering sector. \u201cThis renewal reaffirms the international community\u2019s trust in PEC\u2019s regulatory framework and the professional competence of our Engineers. It opens greater opportunities for Pakistani Engineers to contribute towards global projects and strengthens Pakistan\u2019s footprint in the international Engineering landscape,\u201d he said.
\nWith this renewed mandate, PEC aims to further simplify the registration process for IntPE applicants, expand outreach to engineering professionals, and promote international collaboration. The extension not only enhances the global standing of Pakistani Engineers but also reflects Pakistan\u2019s growing role in the global Engineering fraternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
