It
is felt from within the engineering community of
Bangladesh that professional attainment
through
training and experience at work place should be measured
to some standard
before they
are recognized as professional engineers. With this end
in view, the
Bangladesh Professional
Engineers Registration Board (BPERB) has established the
standards
that will be required
for an engineer to qualify as a “Professional
Engineer”
(PEng.) in order
to operate within
Bangladesh. BPERB has also set up implementation
procedure for the
assessment of engineers
wishing to be recognized as Professional
Engineers, and
the maintenance of a register
of engineers that have been accepted as
meeting the
required standards for Professional
Engineer,
A
further factor influencing the introduction of a
register of professional engineers in
Bangladesh
is the forth coming introduction of WTO sponsored
General Agreement of
Trade and
Services (GATA) treaty. This will have the effect of
removing barriers to the
free movement
of professional engineering services between nations,
provided the
professional engineers
meet certain agreed international standard. It is the
BPERB’s
declared intention to
seek international recognition for professional
engineers for its
register and the introduction
of this registration process is the first steps to
achieve this.
