1. Background

Honorable Minister Mr. Bimalendra Nidhi, Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, inaugurated

a halfday workshop on “Strengthening Engineering Profession for Quality and Sustainable Products and

Services” organized by the Nepal Engineering Council on 13th of August 2014 (28th of Shrawan 2071

B.S.). Established by the Nepal Engineering Act 2055,

Nepal Engineering Council preambles to make

engineering profession more effective, mobilize in a

managed and scientific way, and register the

engineers according to their qualification. In this

context, the Governing Body of the Nepal Engineering

Council intended to bring engineers from various

sectors together to interact and recommend

measures to strengthen Council’s capacity and

implement strategic programmes. The Council also intended to take opportunity to widely share the

Strategic Plan prepared for the period 2009‐2013, review it and seek inputs from the participants. More

than 80 engineers from the following sectors were invited, present and took active participation in the

workshop.

present and former Secretaries of the Government of Nepal with engineering background;

present and former Director Generals of the Government of Nepal with engineering

background;

National Planning Commission, with

engineering background;

former Presidents of Nepal Engineer’s

Association;

former Chairpersons, Vice Chairpersons,

Registrars of NEC;

officials of engineering societies;

officials of Nepal Engineering Council

Media representatives were also present in the opening session. The list of participants is attached in

Annex‐5.

The present governing body targets to hold similar interaction workshops in series with engineering

professionals engaged in other sectors.

2. Objectives of the workshop

NEC prepared its Strategic Plan in June 2008 for the period 2009 to 2013. As the plan period was over, it

was necessary to revisit the plan and draw recommendations from larger group of engineering

professionals so as to come up with certain recommendations that would be bases for continuing

implementation of the Strategic Plan. For this, the outputs defined in the Strategic Plan were considered

as the point of departure for the workshop. In this context, the main objective of the workshop was to:

receive inputs from practicing engineering professionals to strengthen NEC’s capacity to

increase the effectiveness of engineering profession by bringing them in one forum.

The inputs were expected in relation to the following questions:

How Nepal Engineering Council can be more strengthened?

What are the professional issues and how these issues can be addressed?

The present Governing Body of NEC considers these inputs as the basis for its annual activities and

programmes.

3. Workshop Sessions

[INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING]

Iswer RajOnta28Shrawan 2071

Kathmandu

• NEC Established under NEC Act 2055 (1998)

• In Operation since 2056 under clause 37 of NEC Act 2055

• No. of registered engineers:

Over 24,000 in 36 disciplines

• No. of engineering colleges approved by NEC: 50 (Out of this, 20 outside Kathmandu valley)

• Intake capacity: Over 8,000

• 548 universities of 40 countries are recognized by NEC so

far

• Nepal (6)

2

• NEC Act states that NEC is hereby established toexecute (Parichalan) the engineering profession(byabasaya) effectively in a well managed andscientific way as well as to register engineersaccording to their qualifications.

• NEC to act as an apex regulatory body for engineering profession and engineering education in Nepal

• The definition itself is very broad, obscure and indirect and needs to clarify and make simple for everyone to understand clearly

• The expectations seem to be to deliver quality engineering products and services by way of executing good professional practices.

3

• NEC Act and Regulations, in fact, deals with two subjects:

1. Registration of Engineers

2. Recognition and approval of certification of educational qualification and degree

4

• However, to carry out its responsibility in systematic way, NEC embarked to develop a Strategic Plan and prepare its periodic plan [NEC 2009‐2013] in 2008.

• Adopted a participatory approach

• Residential workshop at Board level in March 20‐28, 2008 (Chaitra 7‐9, 2064)

• Log Frame as Zero Draft of the Strategy was prepared.

5

• Goal of NEC– “Availability of Quality and Sustainable Engineering Products and Services assured in the Country”

• Purpose– “NEC operating as a Lead Functional Regulating and Facilitating body for Quality Engineering Education, Profession, Products and Services”

If this “Purpose” is realized then NEC will be able to contribute to achieve the above goal.

6

Following OUTPUTS are needed to achieve the ‘Purpose’

1. Institutional capacity of NEC strengthened

2. Quality Engineering Education Enhanced

3. Quality Engineering Products Improved

4. Quality Engineering Services Improved

5. National and International Stakeholders

Network Established

7

In line with Output no. 5, NEC initiated consultations with profession societies in 2063/2064.

• First interaction was conducted with SONA, Society of Nepalese Architects in 2063.5.14

• Preliminary interactions conducted with

– SOPHEN; Structural Engineers Association; SEEN; SOMEN; SCAEF; Mitrakunj; Society of Agricultural Engineers; TU Planning Department etc.

8

• On the matters related to ACCREDITATION SYSTEM, NEC worked along with University Grant Commission as well.

• A Quality Assurance Unit was established in NEC, thereof.

9

WHY A SYSTEM FAILS?

• Most important element in the system is the INSTITUTION.

• INSTITUTION, INSTITUTION & INSTITUTION.

• Therefore, Strategy has correctly identified one important output as

“Institutional Capacity of NEC strengthened”

10

Major Activities identified under Output “Institutional Capacity of NEC strengthened” are:

1. Institutionalize PME system2. Restructure NEC organization with separate

sectoral boards3. Ensure competent human resources4. Amend Acts, Rules and By laws5. Generate required resources6. Provide needed physical infrastructure7. Execute required action plan effectively8. Carry out periodic performance audit internally

against planned arrangement.11

• Some ELEMENTS of institutional development which are fundamentals; needs to be given priorities are:

i. Infrastructure, such as building premisesii. Rules and regulationsiii. Organogram structuresiv. Job descriptions for all positionsv. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

• Building are visible but institutions themselves are invisible.

• Institutions also refer to the rules, norms and strategy adopted by individuals operating within and across organizations.

12

Major Activities under Output “Quality Engineering Products Improved” are:

• Collaborate with relevant institutions to establish standards for selected engineering products

• Examine selected products in view with established standards

• Initiate corrective actions in case of deviation from the standards

• Examine effectiveness of corrective action• Encourage new techniques for upgrading selected engineering products

• Encourage R & D in industries with selected products• Develop mechanism for products in selected sector

13

Major Activities under Output “Quality Engineering Services Improved” are:

• Develop quality standards of engineering services

• Develop M & E mechanism

• Enforce implementation of M & E services standards

• Develop regular refresher’s training for engineering professionals

• Develop and implement professional liability system

• Develop the concept of professional engineers and their scope of work

14

There are other ‘series’ of activities connected with two remaining outputs which are:

• “Quality Engineering Education Enhanced” and

• “National and International Stakeholders Network Established”

15

• It is assumed that all those series of activities under these 5 outputs should be successfully carried out to achieve those outputs.

• It is not Simple.

• Requires well designed institutional set up to carry out those activities.

• However, all these are ACHIEVABLE and DESIRABLE.

1. What is engineering?2. Context and Need of Development in Nepal:

Macro level issue 3. Expertise we need for engineering projects4. Present Issues that Affect Engineering

Practice in Nepal 5. Recommendation 6. Need of Continuation of professional development

1. What is engineering?

Encyclopaedia (Wikipedia):

'Engineering' is the discipline, art, skilland profession of acquiring and applyingscientific, mathematical, economic, social,and practical knowledge to design andbuild structures, machines, devices,systems, materials and process that safelyrealise improvements to the lives of people.

What is engineering? Contd…..

Fung et al. Foundations of Solid Mechanics states;

" …….Scientists try to understand nature. Engineers try to make things that do not exist in nature. Engineers stress invention. To embody an invention the engineer must put his idea in concrete terms, and design something that people can use - a device, a gadget, a material, a method, a computing program, an innovative experiment, a new solution to a problem, or an improvement on what is existing. ………"

What is engineering? Contd…

“Scientists study the world as it is; engineers create the world that has never been”

-Theodore von KarmanHungarian American airspace engineer and physicist,

known for supersonic and hypersonic airflow characterization. 15 karman law, karman equations, karman constants in physics.Written many books on physics and engineering.Dozens of honors and legacy

2. Context and Need of Development inNepal: Macro level issue

Armed conflict hit for and political instability – 2 decades Development activities could not take place

Under investment: Need four times more than present investment to liberate from LDC

Lack of good governance

Acceleration in physical infrastructure development priority felt by all sector

. Context and Need of Development contd..

Major areas of engineering works

Hydro power (unexplored high potential, plan to generate 10000 MW, need to invest US $ 40 Billion),

Road & transport infrastructure (Need US $ 100 billion)

Rural development (3/4th people in in rural area)

Urban development (130 municipalities ,need heavy investment)

Irrigation infrastructure (bigger project Terai and inner valleys)

Tourism infrastructure (adventure, religious recreational)

Climate change adaption and risk reduction activities (flood control, landslide & protection of GLOF)

Our concern:

Need to enhance engineering & professional capacity to undertake & manage development works –bigger projects

3. Expertise we need for engineering projects

4. Present Issues that Affect EngineeringPractice in Nepal

Under investment: (US $ 5 Billion, one third in development, need four times more to liberate from LDC)

Low estimation of service cost Weak institution: Low overhead Brain drain: 50% abroad mostly in productive age No provision of fresh graduates through consulting Weak governance Incompetent procuring agencies (local bodies, influenced

easily, no fair evaluation) Low bidding

Issues contd…

Exclusion of national consultants: Case of Rahughat Hydro, Koshi corridor transmission, Tanahu hydro.

Lack of professionals

Lack of handling of bigger projects.

Hiring of Individual vs firm

Mechanism of job distribution.

Practicing code of conduct

Unregistered engineers in GoN (24 Gha) – effect in professionalism.

5. Recommendations Increase in investment level 4 times (At least US $ 20

Billion annually, more in development works)

GoN to provision of compulsory of national consultant.

Adopt supportive policy (recognize need of strong consulting)

Good governance (law & order in place, fail, impartial & transparent evaluation process)

Incentives (to encourage efficient & effective delivery of services, to retain and attract national experts)

Recommendation contd..

Sufficient cost for service (corporate back up, need sufficient input, rate, overhead)

Provision of involving fresh graduates in consulting.

Mechanism to utilise retired engineers

NEC is focussed on regulating BE course.

Need to put effort to enhance professional practice.

CPD in collaboration among NEA, NEC, SCAEF & other professional society

6. Need of Continuation of professional development

Engineering profession faces significant challenges as it seeks to meet the ever improving application of technology.

Engineers need to learn new approaches with continuous updating of the changes and improvement in the engineering technology.

CPD: Continuous Professional development is the process of developing and then maintaining competence; a set of recognised skills needed to reliably perform the occupation of choice. It’s what we learn and cover every aspect of learning throughout the career.

CPD contd…CPD every day: learning and developing skills just through the work, reading technical journals, taking on new tasks, practicing and getting better at the tasks and picking up information from networking with colleagues.

Structured CPDBut, if one is at a stage in the career when one need to learn new skills or do a lot of learning, to understand a new sector, to cope with dramatic change, or for a different role, then one need to take a more structured approach to ensure to develop all the competenceneeded.

Forms of CPD

Formal post-graduate study Short courses, Training workshops, seminars, discussion groups,

conferences, and technical meeting. Learning activities in the workplace Private study which extends knowledge and skills Service to the engineering profession Preparation and presentation of material for

courses, conferences, seminars and symposia

Cycle of CPD of engineers

Engineers continually expand technical knowledge and develop new competencies.

Their work involves identifying, modelling, and analyzing engineering problems.

Generating, implementing, and evaluating solutions and disseminating their work in the engineering literature.

This process leads to greater technical knowledge and better practices within the engineering community.

Engineers advances their technical professional development. Through this cycle of professional practice, engineers update

engineering education.

Accreditation of CPD for professionalism of engineers

Accredited CPD scheme enables organisations to provide a quality assured pathway for its engineers.

CPD facilitates organisations to recruit, develop and retain technical teams in international standards of competence and professionalism.

This may be as a Professional Engineer (P.Engg), Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng), etc. Fellow members

Accreditation of CPD for professionalism

Practice of Accreditation of CPD in most of the developed and developing countries:

Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET), USA

Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists, California USA

The Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) Canada

Engineers Australia

The Institution of Engineers, India (IEI)

Bangladesh Professional Engineers Registration Board (BPERB)

The Institution of Engineers, Srilanka (IESL)
