NEA AND NEC REPORT

NEA (Nepal Engineers’ Association)

Background

Nepal Engineers' Association (NEA) is an independent nonprofit organization of Nepalese engineers, registered under the Social Service Act of the Government of Nepal. It was established in 1962. Today, it represents 19792 engineers, belonging to various engineering disciplines including architects, civil, electrical, mechanical, electronics etc and coming from both the public and private sector economies. NEA is governed by an elected executive council of 15 members, led by the President of the association for a tenure of two years.

Presently, NEA is a member of World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) and was instrumental in the establishment of Federation of Engineering Institute of South and Central Asia (FEISCA). NEA has recently joined the Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC) and have functional bilateral relations with Institution of Engineers Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE-UK), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Japanese Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) and the Korean Society of Civil Engineers (KSCE).

Objectives

1.       To promote development of the engineering science and technology in Nepal.

2.       To promote fellowship goodwill and cooperation assistance among the Nepalese engineers and safeguard their rights and interests.

3.       By utilizing, to the highest extent possible, the participation of the national engineering manpower of the country in the national development activities of Nepal, make effort towards ending foreign dependency in this regard.

4.       To continuously enhance the highest professional ideals among the members and widen it.

5.       To develop relations, fellowship and goodwill with international engineering associations and institutions.

Major activities of NEA.

1. Publish journals, Manuals, articles and newsletters on various fields of Engineering.

2. Organize conferences, workshop and paper presentation programs to foster interaction of engineers         

     of various fields.

3. Conduct major talk programs form highly acclaimed professionals on engineering issues.

4. Recognize and award distinguished professionals for their contribution.

5. Enhance safeguard of professional right of engineers 6. Cooperate and organize joint activities with  

     foreign and domestic professional organizations.

NEC (Nepal Engineering Council)

Background

It can be said that Nepal entered a modern phase in engineering after the political change in the sixties. Engineering activities began to contribute to the development of the country and the engineering profession started to gain respect in the society.

it was expected that nearlt 3000 engineers would be graduating from local engineering colleges every year with nearlty an equal amount graduating from colleges abroad. So, a need was felt for an organization to manage the engineering profession. Therefore, to make the engineering profession more effective, Nepal Engineering Council was formed under the Nepal Engineering Council Act, 2055 promulgated by His Majesty the King on B.S. 2055/11/27 (11th March, 1999 A.D.). As per the Act, NEC has been vested with the statutory authority for the planning, coordinated development and monitoring of engineering profession and education in the country. NEC Act 2055 gives an outline on the formation of the Council, its tenture and the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman, Vice Chairman and the Registrar.

Nepal Engineering Council Rules, 2057 has also been prepared and approved by His Majesty's Government as per the provision of Clause 37 of the Act. It defines the registration of engineers into three categories as well as the formats for application:
a) General Registered Engineer
b) Professional Engineer
c) non - Nepali Registered Engineer

NEC Rules 2057 also lays down the professional code of conduct for engineers registered with the Council. The first Executive Council was formed on Magh 2056 under the chairmanship of Er. Ram Babu Sharma and completed its tenture on Magh 2060.

Objectives of NEC

The objective of Nepal Engineering Council is to make the engineering profession effective by mobilizing it in a more systematic and scientific way and also to register the engineers as per their qualifications. Its duties and responsibilities are :

1) To prepare policies, plans and programs for the smooth functioning of the

profession and to execute them

2) To set norms and standards for engineering education in Nepal

3) To grant permission and approval to carry out engineering education to those engineering colleges and institutions that meet the required norms and standards and to honor their degrees and certificates

4) To monitor and inspect the quality of engineering education provided by the

engineering colleges and institutions

5) To fix the qualification necessary in order to practice engineering profession and to register their name in the Council

6) To remove their name from the registration of the engineering council if found to violate the code of ethics.

  Fig. Organizational Chart of NEC

Licensing of engineers

Licensing is one of the means of regulating the profession. The organizations providing engineering services, for example, are expected to obtain approval from professional organizations before starting their business, apart from fulfilling the legal requirements. The Federation of Contractors’ Association of Nepal (FCAN) classifies its members into different categories/classes like A, B, C and D; the contractors of each category are limited in the financial amount of work they can bid for.

Licensing for individual engineers is provided by NEC, in the form of registration. As per clause 11 of NEC Act, “no person shall practice the engineering profession without getting his/her name registered in the Council”. Offenders are subject to fine to Rs. 3000 or jail up to three months or both.

Two of the objectives of NEC related to the licensing of engineering professionals are:

·         To fix the qualification necessary in order to practice engineering profession and to register their name in the Council

·         To remove their name from the registration of the engineering council if found to violate the code of ethics.

1. Accreditation of certificates of academic qualification

2. Recognition of the academic institution

3. Professional code of conduct Disciplinary

Registration categories

1.General engineer                                         A

2.Professional engineer                                  B

3. Foreign engineer                                        C

Registration requirement

1. Application in approved format

2. Copies of certificate of academic qualification

3. Enclosed registration fee

4. Other relevant document

 VISION:

 The vision of NEC is to make the engineering profession effective by mobilizing it in a more systematic and scientific and also to register the engineers as per their qualifications.

Differences between NEC and NEA

NEC	NEA
Statutory body, established under NEC Act, in 1999	An NGO, established in 1962
Must register before practicing engineering profession	Registration/membership is voluntary
Executive body by election and nomination	Executive body by election
Evaluates and approves establishment of academic institutes offering engineering programs	No such provision
Offers different categories of engineering profession: general, professional, foreign	No such provision
Monitors academic institutes offering engineering programs (every year for temporary approval and every other year for permanent approval), and cancels approval if found not up to standard	No such provision
The directives and code of conduct issued are mandatory	The directives and code of conduct issued are voluntary
