Qualification for Structural Engineers Working on High Rise Structures- By P Engineer Suraj Singh Faridabad NCR

 1.     Whether Experts should be utilized on professional practice or restricted to a merely academically qualified person, shall certainly be a question mark, when referred to HUDA (Haryana Urban Development Authority) & Kerala departments’ releases.

 2.     For responsible work on engineering, only experts should be utilized & not merely, educated masters in engineering since, only earned Master degree does not equip with all requirements respecting profession fulfillment. Professional practice should be viewed in wider prospective.

 3.     Structural conception & contemplation requires engineering pragmatism that is attained only by engineering theoretical applications, long experience & learning by Continuous Professional Development. It cannot be learned just by passing a professional educational degree of Masters in Engineering or Technology degree after earning Bachelor in engineering degree. Duration of training of ME is just around 1.5 years, which is not adequate well to equip engineer with professional specialist requirements.

 4.     A mail has been sent to Haryana Urban Development Authority to look into this issue.

High Rise Buildings Structures-ME/MTech Qualification
Dear Sir,

It has been noticed by Civil/Buildings Engineering Community that HUDA has revised basic qualification of engineers qualified to work on high rise structures.

1. HUDA now requires a qualification only a ME structures.
2. It is suggested that an engineer, who is well qualified by having Chartered Status with plenty of professional experience, is deemed to work on structures of high rise.
3. Just an additional study of 1.5 years post graduation would not equip an engineer to work on such structures.
4. Simply, application of theoretical designs is not adequate for producing a sound structure.
5. An adequate/long experience is a must to understand & apply structural theories & administration of management during prosecution.
6. Instead, HUDA should have required Chartered Status or Professional Status of respective civil engineers working on structures.
7. Chartered Status is much higher than any/whatever educational status.
8. Professional Engineer Status is implied much higher than any degree or post graduation or even a doctorate. It is expertise status granted after 7 years of graduation, continuous professional development, examinations & interviews. Its validity is not more than 5 years at a time.
9. HUDA or some other authority should demand all documents of designs calculations, while accepting any/whatever proposal for building permit application.
10. Engineer who worked on project must be conferred with by HUDA constituted scrutiny committee & approval may or may not be granted.
11. Hope that authorities shall look into this issue in public interest since, there is no room for legislating any arbitrary decision for lifelong structures.

Thanks & Warm Regards

Have a nice time
