1-The bill envisages obligatory registration or certification of professional engineers and aims to standardise the Indian engineers globally and create certified quality standards.
2-The implications of passing the bill would mean that no engineer without the prescribed qualification could enter the field and take up projects. It would define who an engineer is and also ensure that the engineer is trained and abreast of the latest technology, a requisite for licence renewal,
3-Passing of such a bill would ensure that without the required certification none could take up work.
4-Such a bill could avert disasters like the Carlton Tower fire tragedy in February in Bangalore which claimed nine lives, Private Haspital  fire tragedy in December  in Kolkatta which claimed eighty lives and other building mishaps as it would in a way help ensure regulation and monitoring of activities and infuse accountability.
5-The passing of the bill would also ensure that Indians were on par with the international engineering community, It would help Indian construction industry get prepared to be part of the Washington Accord and thereby get recognition for Indian engineers.
6-The accord, entitles signatories to be part of overseas projects funded by global financial agencies. Indian engineers at present cannot take up transborder projects funded through external funds as it was not a signatory to the Accord.
Currently, Azad said, the industry was highly disorganised.
7-The biggest challenge before the industry is to ensure that engineers were trained and abreast of modern technology and such a training percolated below, Sabnis said.
8-"Technology is the driver of growth and technology is moving very fast.There is a huge gap between practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge acquired in institutions", Himanshu said.
9-There was a need to bridge this gap and to ensure that the 1000 engineers being churned in Bihar and similar numbers in other states were well equipped to cater to the changing demands by the industry, he said.
10-"The challenge is to ensure a balance between aesthetics, economics and utility", S.K. Singh said.
11-Another challenge lay in use of new-generation material for construction.Currently, he said a hue and cry was being made over depleting natural resources and over mining. But the challenge lay in finding an alternative material which was suitable, he said.
12-"There is also a need for self-regulation among the engineering community to avert disasters. Adhering to safety norms is vital. Fast tracking of projects without heeding to safety parameters to meet early deadlines could prove dangerous," Azad said.
13-Supporting his views, Himanshu said there is need to place a self-regulatory mechanism in place.
