BE A GRADUATE ENGINEER

Hello there readers! As you all might know, this semester i'm taking only one subject which is EIS or Engineers in Society. Therefore I will share what I have learnt so far with you guys especially those young engineers out there and perhaps as a reminder to every single engineering student in Malaysia.

This time I'll be talking about registration as a graduate engineer with Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). Some of you might know and some might not. For your information, we are actually required to register with BEM to be a graduate engineer right after we have finished our study and get an accredited engineering degree checked by Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) on behalf of BEM. This is important since to work legally in Malaysia and is one of the requirements needed to be a professional engineer (Peng) or where you can have Ir at the front of your name as what I have posted before.

Under the Registration Engineering Act 1967 (revised 2002), all engineers must register with BEM prior to practice in Malaysia legally. Another thing is experience required for Professional Engineers registration is counted from the approve date of registration with BEM as a graduate engineer. Not on the date of your graduation day and not on the date of registration with Institute of Engineers Malaysia (IEM)!

So, those who are not register yet. Go apply it!
