In [[Pakistan]], engineering education and profession is regulated by the [[Pakistan Engineering Council]] (PEC) via PEC Act 1976.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://pec.org.pk/downloads/pec_act/PEC%20Act%20(UPDATED%20VERSION%20DEC%202016).pdf |title=PEC Act, 1976 |website=Pakistan Engineering Council. |access-date=23 November 2020 |archive-date=20 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210820130626/https://pec.org.pk/downloads/pec_act/PEC%20Act%20(UPDATED%20VERSION%20DEC%202016).pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> PEC is a federal government organization. Any person with an engineering degree ([[B.E.|BE/BS/BSc Engineering]]) from PEC accredited universities/institutes is legally allowed to register with the [[Pakistan Engineering Council]] (PEC) as a Registered engineer (RE). Previously, every engineering graduate registered with the PEC and at least five years of relevant work experience was eligible for the title of professional engineer (PE) without any exam. To improve the quality of engineering profession, this two-tier system has been enhanced via PEC CPD Bye-Laws 2008.<ref name="PEC_CPD">{{Cite web |url=https://pec.org.pk/downloads/cpd/PEC_CPD%20_ByeLaws.pdf |title=PEC CPD Bye-Laws |website=Pakistan Engineering Council. |access-date=23 November 2020 |archive-date=27 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210727110646/https://www.pec.org.pk/downloads/cpd/PEC_CPD%20_ByeLaws.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> This system was realistically implemented starting 10 July 2010. Graduate engineers now enroll and practice as registered engineer (RE) in their general discipline of work. After at least five years of relevant work experience and accumulation of at least 17 CPD (Continued Professional Development) points, they may attempt the Engineering Practice Examination (EPE) conducted by the PEC. EPE is held by PEC biennially in major cities across the country. Those who pass the EPE are given the prestigious title of professional engineer (PE) in their specialized discipline of work.
To improve the quality of engineering services, engineers with professional engineer (PE) status are also required to engage in CPD activities in order to be able to retain their PE license. CPD points are awarded for various developmental activities such as formal education (e.g. [[Postgraduate diploma]], master or PhD), on-job experience, participating in conferences/workshops as audience, speaker or organizer, publications in technical journals, part-time teaching activities, serving as guest lecturer (other than full-time teaching) and serving as external examiner for master/PhD thesis.
