Further, it has to develop manpower for different levels of economy and thus provide one of the major inputs to the national effort for self-reliance and improvement of the quality of life. Developments in communications, travel and trade over decades have produced a global network of ideas, institutions and economies. Engineering practice and its related technologies have become global in scope and scale. To be effective, today's engineering graduate must not only be grounded in scientific and mathematical fundamentals, engineering principals and design but must also have a global outlook and the broader skills to work in society in both home country and internationally. Engineering education is thus challenged to prepare a technically competent graduate. Ideally, engineering education programs attempt to lead engineering practice due to their role of preparing future engineers. Nepal Engineering Council, as per its Act, is vested with statutory authority for planning, formulation of Norms and standards, monitoring and evaluation and ensuring coordinated and integrated development of Engineering education, Engineering profession within the country. |, genuinely hope, that with the cooperation of all the concerned agencies, we will be able to develop and maintain a bench mark that will help to set quality of engineering education. pete — Er.

Introduction: Nepal entered into a modern phase of development process 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 importance in the society. The engineering manpower began to grow in number and was involved in all spheres of national development. Furthermore, the introduction of democracy in 1990 encouraged the growth of establishment of engineering colleges in Nepal and the enrollment of students into these engineering colleges started growing very fast. At present it is expected that nearly 3500 engineers would be graduating from local engineering colleges every year. To make the engineering profession more effective, Nepal Engineering Council was established under the Nepal Engineering Council Act, 2055 . 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.
