Dr. M. Ibrahim has indeed made a commendable suggestion by advising the Intellectuals and Workers of Pakistan Abroad to use the services of the Institute of Engineers for attaining their noble objectives.
I have another suggestion. Since the country has not yet fully recovered from the recent revages (ravages) of the nature, it would be in the fitness of things if unemployed engineers are utilised on a massive scale in the mammoth reconstruction effort.
The advantages accruing to the nation would be tremendous.The graduate engineer, by virtue of his strenuous training, is readily equipped (to) deal with exigencies the likes of which are certain to be faced when reconstruction begins. And since graduate engineers are also thoroughly trained in economics, their service need not be confined to the engineering aspects only. They can be utilized as accountants as well.
This step will reduce to a considerable extent the chronic unemployment situation among fresh graduate engineers.
