NEC Civil Engineering case studies
NEC Civil Engineering · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Nepal Engineering Council (NEC) is the statutory body that regulates and promotes the engineering profession in Nepal. It was formed on 11 March 1999 under The Nepal Engineering Council Act, and its mandate includes registration of the names of engineers as per their qualifications. Civil engineering is one of the disciplines registered through the Council, and the NEC civil engineering licence examination is the route by which a civil engineering graduate demonstrates the professional competence required for registration and for the title of Professional Engineer (PE). Candidates typically sit it after completing an accredited civil engineering degree, and practising engineers sometimes attempt it years later, so preparation must be self-directed. The NEC Civil Engineering case studies are 5 cases and about 3,837 words.
