AR stand for what?

Professional Architect

IEM status needed rite??

Halo, I would like to ask, I am a student member of Institute of Material Malaysia (IMM). I would like to ask what is the benefit after graduate. Should I renew it for any other benefit?

2) I joined IChemE as student member and they stated after few years I am able to obtain a title as Chartered in front of my name. What is the requirement and the procedure?

3) I would like to ask for the BEM IR title, the procedure and the requirement. THank you...

hi. I have some doubt. I just graduate from Bach of Mechanical. But currently, im working with a company who involve in railways overhead cables and signalling & communication design.

can I apply as PE if my degree is mechanical but i do the design for railway signalling (which is more to elctronics/mechatronic)?

register as graduate Eng with BEM first, thats more important.

Dear all,

From BEM website, it stated that either take exam with BEM or register as corporate member with IEM can gain us a title of IR. May i know which way is better?

If register with IEM need to pay annual fee...

In order to get Ir status, you must undergo a professional interview, the interview is conducted by IEM, BEM only responsible for Graduate Engineer Registration & Professional Engineer(Ir) registration. You must full fill their criteria to sit for the exam, and the process is very long. You can check with IEM/BEM website for details procedure, make sure you register with BEM first because the experience is count after registration date, registration with IEM is not compulsory, but you are entitled to get discount for seminar and talk for PDP/CPD purpose. Only if you pass for professional interview your membership grade will be upgraded to corporate member, If you are graduate member.

This is not true . Once u get ur Ir here , you can become charted engineer in UK . I believe Sg / India accept our title as well .

Do you have a senior with ir in the same field . You need another the IR engineer to approve ur project report.

They do . Malaysian Engineers are not far back compared to japanese engineers .

With Ir title your recognized as someone knowledgeable in the field.

This is misleading, Ir issued in Malaysia only acceptable/recognized in Malaysia, each country has their own professional body to maintain their own professionalism. By the way, I'm professional engineer(IR).

No , you cannot . I didnt read ur post correctly .

Your Ir title should be directly related to the industry u r working for . First u need to register with BEM and obtain a BEM card. ( This is important to show u r from a recognized university - you can throw away ur cert after this )

This is followed by you practicing ur engineering in the field for 2 years and apply to do ur PE . You need to choose ur mentor and literally be his slave until u complete your report.

the report must be endorsed by ur mentor and careful when picking ur mentor . ( I advice you look FOR MALAYS !!! )

I have friends who coudnt sit for the interview because the mentor think he is not matured enough .

This is not true for SG. Other countries I don't know. You can't practice as PE in SG with IR, and vice versa.

The info given by you were totally absurd!!!...

1)There is no BEM card even for professional Engineer
2) Must have min 3 years experience after registration with the BEM
3) Mentor will be chosen randomly by IEM, you can't choose the mentor or change the mentor unless you have a concrete reason, BEM not involve with examination, training, mentor/mentee scheme.
4) What does it has to do with Malay?

U dont need to work in a company with PE . It's just easier to do it .

I was told during university, to register with BEM once I graduated from engineering discipline, otherwise I cannot hold the job position having the name "Engineer". However, 5 years passed I'm still not registered with BEM.

Registering with BEM really so useful?

Register with BEM is compulsory according to eng act, you are consider practice illegally if you working as an engineer. To have ENGR title, you have to register with IEM as graduate member.

Yes, according to act. However employer don't even bother about this membership other than personal skills.

Well, it's depend on the position and company policy, for low position may not compulsory, but for high position is compulsory ( Lead Engineer, Resident Engineer)...
