1.1 Introduction
Legislative, social and economic developments are one of the key factors that has changed the dynamics of today’s professional world through advancements in technology, research and development. The technological advancement has provided a S.M.A.R.T way of innovation and creativity which has changed our professional attributes thus providing different ways of working.
Therefore, it is very important for Engineers to keep up with the pace of rapidly changing environment. CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is the platform provided where a professional engineer or a student can keep acquainted with these changes, where the professional can broaden his horizon and be more effective in the professional world.
Pakistan Engineering Council under its Act has mandate for introducing and ensuring continued professional development activities amongst its growing community of engineers and has devised a comprehensive framework titled Professional Development of Engineers (Bye Laws – 2008) approved by the Government of Pakistan.
The main objective is to develop competence and ability of engineers for the application of theoretical knowledge to practical situations and to evolve innovative solutions to real life problems while adhering to professional ethics and acquisition of a broader understating of their obligations to society.
Strategy/ Plan for Professional Development Activities
As per provisions of CPD Byelaws, from July 2010 onwards, most of Continuing Professional Development activities (courses, training workshops, etc.) may be undertaken by the Professional Engineering Bodies (PEBs) registered with PEC as per provision of Section 16 of PDE Bye-Laws 2008. PEC will continue charging nominal course fee per participant. However, PEBs imparting CPD activities will decide fee on the basis of course type and efforts should be made to charge the fee as minimum as possible. The courses/ CPD activities will be planned by the PEBs according to the specified criteria and guidelines (Section 16 of Bye-Laws). Such bodies will also provide schedule of courses and share verified list of participants with PEC to maintain transparent record of CPD activities and points for all the registered/ professional engineers. PEC Regional Offices will play role of facilitator for the professional bodies in organizing CPD activities.
DSU Activities for CPD
DSU has obtained PEB license (license number PEB-S-DHASU-0128). Here at DSU, we regularly conduct CPD activities for our students, alumni and professional members including short courses refresher courses, management, conduct etc; workshops, seminars, expert lectures etc. The list of the activities conducted in DSU is attached. All CPD carry credit points as defined in the CPD Byelaws. DSU announces its yearly calendar of tentative CPD activities through PEC website (www.pec.org.pk).
The committee member names are as follows;
- Convener & PEB Coordinator: Engr Haris Zikrur Rehman (haris@dsu.edu)
- Objectives of CPD:
The objectives of CPD shall include:-
- Application of theoretical knowledge to practical situations and to evolve innovative solutions to real life problems.
- Application of concepts and ingredients of management to professional works including relevant legal and financial aspects.
- Acquisition and application of necessary communication skills.
- Knowledge of latest developments in various fields of engineering including information technology for specific and cross disciplinary application.
- Adherence to professional ethics and acquisition of a broader understanding of obligations of engineers to society.
- All CPD activities held in DSU are not for profit motive therefore only minimum amount of fees is charged. Please note that the fee charged from a CPD participant is utilized solely for conducting the CPD activity only.
