Professional Engineer, Japan (PE. Jp) is the national qualification stipulated by the Professional Engineer Law. A Professional Engineer is defined as an engineer engaged in the professional practice of rendering services for science and technology in planning, research, design, analysis, testing, evaluation, and training in such work, which requires application of extensive scientific and technical expertise.
The Enforcement Regulation of the Professional Engineer Law specifies 21 technical disciplines, in each of which a Professional Engineers is qualified.
Forest which is one of 21 technical disciplines has 4 Optional Subject, that is Forestry, Forest Civil Engineering, Forest Products, Forest Environment. Especially among of all, Forest Products is tightly related to Pulp and Paper Industry.
But the candidate for examination about Optional Subject-Forest Products is decreasing, so, now it is coming to the crisis of continuing to exist. I hope the membership of Japanese Technical Assoc. of the Pulp and Paper Industry try to exam Optional Subject-Forest Products in order to improve your technical skill and develop Pulp and Paper Industry.
