APEC Engineer Project
The purpose of the APEC Engineer Project, launched in FY2000, is to recognize and register as APEC Engineers those engineers who meet certain qualifications, such as practical experience, and to support their international activities.
Japan has participated in the APEC Engineer Project in 11 engineering disciplines. 1st-class Kenchikushi who specialize in building structure fields (building structural engineers) are eligible to apply in the building structure fields of the Structural Engineering discipline. The Japan APEC Engineer Monitoring Committee (Secretariat: the Institution of Professional Engineers, Japan) entrusts the assessment and registration of the building structural engineers to the Building Engineer Qualification Committee and JAEIC has been serving as its secretariat.
