Its main statutory functions include registration of engineers, consulting engineers, constructors/operators and accreditation of engineering programmes offered by universities/institutions, ensuring and managing of continuing professional development, assisting the Federal Government as Think Tank, establishing standards for engineering products and services besides safeguarding the interest of its members. The council shall encourage, facilitate and regulate working of professional engineering bodies for creativity and as custodians of engineering under the umbrella of the Council.

PEC interacts with the Government, both at the Federal and Provincial level by participating in Commissions, Committees and Advisory Bodies. PEC is a fully representative body of the engineering community in the country.

PEC has also been providing support to the Government in conducting technical enquiries and recommending remedial measures on the subjects referred. Over the years, the Pakistan Engineering Council has become an influential voice, which speaks for the engineering profession as a whole in the country. It forms an effective bridge between Government, industry and education.

ASME is a not-for-profit membership organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, career enrichment, and skills development across all engineering disciplines, toward a goal of helping the global engineering community develop solutions to benefit lives and livelihoods.

The International Association of Engineers (IAENG) is a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. IAENG was founded by a group of engineers and computer scientists in 1968, originally as a private club network for its founding members. Later, with the efforts from its members, IAENG membership became open to all the members in the engineering and computer science community. Nowadays, the IAENG members include research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, research scientists/engineers, experienced software development directors and engineers, and university postgraduate and undergraduate students etc., from over one hundred different countries. 

Founded initially as the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education (SPEE) in 1893, the society was created at a time of great growth in American higher education. In 1862, Congress passed the Morrill Land-Grant Act, which provided money for states to establish public institutions of higher education. These institutions focused on providing practical skills, especially “for the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.” As a result of increasingly available higher education, more Americans started entering the workforce with advanced training in applied fields of knowledge. However, they often lacked grounding in the science and engineering principles underlying this practical knowledge. 

Pakistan Council for Science and Technology (PCST) is mandated to advise the Government on the development of Science and Technology at the national level. The Council is involved in S&T Policy making, planning, implementation and in carrying out policy studies. PCST is also the secretariat of National Commission of Science and Technology (NCST), headed by the Prime Minister (which takes the major decisions for the development of S&T in the country).

The Pakistan Academy of Engineering (PAE) was registered on December 20, 2013 at Karachi. Concurrently PAE Endowment Fund, a trust, has also been established and registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, with the sole objective of generating funds and providing financial support to the PAE on continuing basis.

The Institution of Engineers Pakistan came into existence on 20th June 1948 with the blessing of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah Father of the Nation. In his message Quaid-e-Azam eulogized the establishment of the Institution of Engineers, Pakistan and expressed the hope that its establishment will greatly stimulate technical research and help in disseminating available information to enable the engineers to improve their technical knowledge. His message was adopted by the Institution as a guiding force for the working of Institution. Since 1948, the Institution of Engineers has been striving hard for disseminating Engineering knowledge and to fulfill the aims and objects it has been by holding Conferences, Seminars, Colloquium, Workshop etc. 

To undertake business with a focus on organizational growth by recognizing those who contribute to it and building excellence to meet customers’ satisfaction regarding quality, on-time delivery, and HSE. To be the best among leading Engineering and Contracting establishments in the region. 

The Association of Consulting Engineers Pakistan (ACEP) was founded in 1989 as a registered non-profit society to promote advancement of the profession of Consulting Engineers in Pakistan, disseminate engineering knowledge amongst members, foster ethical practices in engineering services sector and promote fraternity between public and private sectors. ACEP now has 120 members with its head office at Karachi and chapter offices at Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar. ACEP is a representative body of consulting engineers in Pakistan and is the only body of consulting profession recognized by Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) as the most representative body and represents Pakistan as international level, being also the only member of International Federation of National Association of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC). 

The name of NESPAK has become synonymous with toil, hard-work, endurance and perseverance which resulted in growth, success and prosperity for the Company. The Company, which was established to bring different engineering disciplines under one roof, has come a long way during the last 44 years of its existence. The journey of success and struggle continued with new achievements during the year with the Company scaling new heights while compensating for its loopholes and mistakes. NESPAK has attained the status of a leader in the consultancy industry through a long struggle but retaining this position was even more challenging. It required an even harder struggle which NESPAK went through with panache and elegance. A lowdown of the progress depicts a brilliant upsurge in the current year's business. The fee contracted during the year was Rs. 11.87 billion which is 18 percent more than the year 2015-16.
