pec

PEC is an acronym that can refer to several organizations, credentials, and technical terms across different regions and fields. The exact meaning depends on context, and the same initials can denote quite different things in education, regulation, or science.

In education, PEC commonly refers to Punjab Engineering College, University of Technology, in Chandigarh, India. Originating in 1921 as Punjab Engineering College, it is widely known by the same acronym.

In regulation and professional licensure, Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) is the national body for engineers in Pakistan, overseeing licensure, engineering practice standards, and accreditation.

In science and technology, PEC often stands for photoelectrochemical cell, a device that uses light to drive chemical reactions, notably for water splitting and solar fuel research.

In professional credentials, PEC can denote a Professional Engineer Certification in jurisdictions where such terminology is used, though titles and requirements vary by country.

Because PEC is an acronym used in many contexts, the intended meaning should be inferred from the surrounding text.
