hi guys
anyone here got the answer the code of ethics question ?
going for an IEM interview this April
tx

are you done your interview?
Anybody here done the interview? can share some tips during interview?

BEM interview is quiet easy............from my PE engineer's message.

This is so old but I must correct this. FYI, Ir. has always been a prefix to a Professional Engineer. Engr. is a title for Graduate Engineer who had just graduated with a Bachelor and normally is en route to becoming a Professional Engineer which would earn him/her an Ir.

Hey engineers,

I m a graduate engineer and i 'm offered a job in the commercial side of an oil & gas company. Eg. doing market assessment, commercial plan, stakeholders mgmt etc.

Since I presume I would not be doing a lot of technical work (as compared to the field engineers or process engineers), am I still eligible for PE/IR???

Just noticed this thread. In Malaysia, "Ir." is the title allowed by BEM for the professional engineers registered with BEM in accordance to Engineer Registration Act only. "Engr." is the title created by IEM for their corporate and graduate members, however the grade of membership must be shown after the name, for example:

Corporate Member: Engr. James Bond MIEM
Graduate Member: Engr. Peter Parker Grad. IEM
Fellow Member: Engr. Bruce Wayne FIEM

true, and it works both ways also.

Added on October 18, 2012, 11:00 amif you plan to be 'sales engineer', then getting a PE is not worth it.

Added on October 18, 2012, 11:03 amThis CPD business is for PEs only. A graduate engineer does not need to maintain the CPD laa..

Added on October 18, 2012, 11:06 amyou are not quite right. if a civil engineer specialises in structural engineering and work in the oil & gas and he's a PE, the sky is the limit as far as pay is concerned.

Added on October 18, 2012, 11:10 amin oil and gas consultants, all principal/lead engineers are required to have an Ir. all of them earn 5 figure salaries.

also, the chances of the engineer being promoted to senior engineer are higher if he gets his PE.

Added on October 18, 2012, 11:20 amBasically the interviewers ask questions related to the interviewee's working experience. They would have gone through the reports submitted by the interviewee prior to the interview.

The written exams are pretty straight forward; ethics question is not that mind boggling, one needs common sense to answer it.

I was interviewed by a couple of old PEs who were not in the oil and gas industry. The interview turned out to be like a briefing session from me about offshore platforms development and design to the interviewers.

I am still considering to get PE/Ir from IEM/BEM, now I am confuse, is it worth it, how about working for government say Mosti or Energy Comission. Maybe still have chance there.

Whatever it is, I will do my best to get this PE/Ir.

Thanks all for ur guys info.

I already had 7 years working experience in o&g.

The PE interview is about the interviewee, not about the interviewer. Their interests are to gauge your experience based on your technical reports. I doubt whether they will engage you in a debate on the differences between o&g industry and their industry.

I gather that non o&g interviewers nowadays might have interviewed many prospective PEs from the o&g industry by now, so they might know something about o&g works, unlike during my time. My interviewers were surprised to know that API codes were widely used in o&g industry; obviously they thought that Msians were only knowledgeable in BS codes. This was in the mid 90's.

Good luck in your PE interview next year!

Bro, I submit the P1 form to BEM last week. They say dunno the board will sitting to appoint the PE.
Normally how many months they take to gives the tilte (Ir)

sorry, I've no idea how long BEM will take to give you the Ir. keep checking with them every month.

is the IEM Affiliate still relevant?

How about the IET(The Institution of Engineering and Technology)

Is that recognized in Europe?

I regret not registered as Graduate Engineer before year 2005... arghhhh...
