WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NSE & COREN? FOR THE YOUNG, UPCOMING & INTENDING ENGINEERS.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COREN AND NIGERIAN SOCIETY OF ENGNEERS

The two are separate and different bodies so that they cannot be referred to interchangeably. The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) is a voluntary association established by the practitioners of the profession while the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) is a statutory organ of Federal Government, established by decree and concerned with certificate of persons for the purpose of practicing the engineering profession in Nigeria.

COREN being the regulatory body for the engineering family in Nigeria, it is therefore necessary to have relevant portions of relevant COREN publications reproduced to serve for both emphasis and as information to all.
