 Dear sir,
I am happy to participate the in the E-conference on 'REQUIREMENTS FOR STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND PROOF CHECKING CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR STRUCTURES - Doc. No.: SSD II/06(19914)'.
I would like to bring your kind attention that clause 9.2 Qualification and Experience. In table 1, at bottom most line it mentioned that academic faculty also become a PDC or PC but in majority case Academic faculty start with carrier in teaching instead of working industry and join in academics. Many case academician can also do designs and proof checking of structures but due to limitation on industry experience they are not eligible to take any project.  If you relax clause 9.2 and make some set of guideline for academician, it will encourage to participate more people and share the knowledge both industry and academia.  
I feel that academician who do not have industry experience but he/she has qualified in structural Engineering and sound knowledge in structural software’s or design codes,  may be given eligibility in PC level instead of PDC a the beginning. Think of this clause 9.2.
I hope it may be discussed and hopefully expect some suitable guidelines for academician (NO industry experiences).

Hi sir, 

I do agree with this point raised by @drnbodigece. There is a big gap between academician and any Engineering consultant because here higher degree doesn't fetch us any such work and add no value to the approach that is why this gap is developing.


Warm regards,

Regarding  Academia,  Researchers,  Professors of Engg Colleges , Universities

Their role is always in mega projects / Highly special structures  at present,  as as Peer Reviewers. I think they generally do not take role of PDC for want of facilities like trained engineers , Drafting personnels and an independent office. Also since They are on permanent  rolls of University and they may not be permitted to do full time Consultancy  ,but are permitted to work as Consultants for Peer Review  or at the most  PC.

In my humble  opinion role of PC could always be given to  scholors but  with full fledged proof checking of design calcs and drawing details .
