Nationwide Pakistan Engineering Program Accreditation and Engineer Registration in Odoo - A Fully Digital, Paperless Ecosystem
Overview
As a Product Manager, I have led the end-to-end lifecycle development of a nationwide digital accreditation and engineer registration system for the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). This enterprise-grade solution has been live for the past five years, automating the entire accreditation lifecycle and enabling paperless registration for engineers. It serves PEC, higher education institutions (HEIs), and engineers across Pakistan, ensuring seamless business automation and compliance with Washington Accord standards.
Scope & Nationwide Implementation
The PEC Accreditation & Engineer Registration Portal is a centralized, fully automated platform that manages:
✔ 200+ Engineering HEIs across federal and provincial jurisdictions (Punjab, KPK, Sindh, Baluchistan, AJK, and GB).
✔ Accreditation lifecycle automation, including Self-Assessment Reports (SARs), evaluation, moderation, and decision-making.
✔ Nationwide engineer registration, integrating degree verification, licensing, and CPD tracking.
✔ Digital integration of PEC stakeholders, including HEIs, PEC evaluation teams, engineers, and regulatory bodies.
Key Value Additions & Business Automation for PEC Stakeholders
This comprehensive automation system has transformed PEC’s manual accreditation and engineer registration processes into a fully digital, paperless workflow, bringing significant gains in efficiency:
✔ End-to-End Paperless Accreditation Lifecycle
· HEIs submit SARs and accreditation data online, eliminating manual paperwork and reducing processing time by 60%.
· Digital workflows for PEC committees streamline accreditation evaluations, moderation, and decision approvals.
· Real-time tracking of accreditation status, with automated notifications and transparent decision logs.
✔ Engineer Registration Portal – Digital Licensing & CPD Management
· Engineers can apply for registration, renewals, and CPD approvals online, eliminating physical visits.
· Automated verification of degrees and credentials using integrated PEC accreditation records.
· Digital CPD (Continuing Professional Development) management, ensuring compliance with PEC’s lifelong learning requirements.
· QR-coded digital certificates for licensed engineers, allowing employers and regulatory bodies to instantly verify credentials.
✔ Compliance with Washington Accord & International Benchmarking
· Ensures all accredited engineering programs meet Washington Accord standards.
· Seamless integration with PEC accreditation data, allowing real-time verification of engineering credentials.
· Strengthens PEC’s global standing in engineering education and professional regulation.
✔ Business Intelligence & Data Analytics for Policy Decisions
· Zone-wise ranking & analysis of HEIs based on TOPSIS, GREY, and RIDIT methodologies, aiding strategic decision-making.
· Data-driven insights on engineer registrations, CPD compliance, and accreditation performance.
· Custom dashboards for PEC leadership, HEIs, and industry stakeholders, improving governance and transparency.
Product Lifecycle Management & Continuous Improvement
The product follows a structured development lifecycle, ensuring continuous innovation and adaptability:
✔ Phase 1 (Launch & Implementation – 5 Years Ago)
· Deployed nationwide, replacing manual accreditation and engineer registration processes.
· Integrated PEC’s regulatory framework into a single digital platform.
✔ Phase 2 (Enhancements & Integration – Ongoing)
· Improved degree verification workflows with real-time integration to PEC’s database.
· Implemented CPD tracking and compliance monitoring for registered engineers.
· Introduced QR-coded verifiable certificates for accreditation and licensing.
A Benchmark for Digital Transformation in Accreditation & Licensing
This nationwide implementation has revolutionized PEC’s accreditation and engineer registration processes, making them:
✔ 100% paperless, reducing manual processing by 60%.
✔ Fully automated, ensuring seamless end-to-end digital workflows.
✔ Compliant with Washington Accord standards, strengthening Pakistan’s global engineering recognition.
✔ Empowering engineers and institutions, enabling instant verification & digital credentials.
✔ Data-driven, improving PEC’s governance, policy decisions, and regulatory oversight.
