Fresh engineer reporting in. Just got my certification from BEM.
Should i start to use like Engr xxx something?

Sifus please guide. Self satisfaction also

BEM came out with new regulation, cannot use Engr. XXX anymore. See the link below:-

If go overseas can still use Ir there? Or overseas PE can use their title like Engr in Malaysia?

Overseas PE need to get temporary PE from BEM, I think. Approval subject to country of origin.

I don't know what is so important to put an IR to your name. I know is good but it is not important at all. Just my 2 cents though.

Must register with the governing body in that country. Then can only use the title recognized by that country.

That's for Overseas PE working here in BEM. Now can apply through the 3rd route. Check BEM website.

It depends on what line of work you are doing.
If you are in consultancy, it's very important.
If you are in lecturing, it's also important to move up.
If you are in contractor, it doesn't really matter but will definitely be useful when you debate an issue with the consultants.

Hi Guys, I would like to ask something about GE.
Currently I got cert from BEM where my discipline is stated as Manufacturing.
May I know is it possible for me to appeal to change my discipline become Mechanical instead of Manufacturing? And what is the procedure I need to do?
Previously, I got my degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, and it was not recognised by BEM, after that I went thru Master of Engineering (Mechanical), then now I'm successfully register under BEM, but problem is my intention is to get GE in Mechanical. I believe PE in mechanical much more meaningful in career compare with PE in manufacturing (correct me if im wrong).

Y did u apply for manufacturing then? Check with BEM using both your degree and mention that you want Mechanical. If you fulfill the requirements, i don't see a reason y they won't give you mechanical.

I did not apply for manufacturing. I follow their procedure and submit all the documents/certificates to BEM including my master cert to register as their member, and after few months, I got their approval cert and the cawangan kejuruteraan there stated "manufacturing". I called up them, and they asked me to email to En Shaiful to request for changing of discipline and they will call a committee meeting to look into it. Hope that it can be successfully changed.

Yeah, just follow-up directly with BEM. Nothing else can be done. Did mine long time ago, i remember i state the cawangan that i want to be register. Not leave it to BEM. Well, maybe procedures have changed.

BEM is going to implement Professional Competency Exam (PCE) a.k.a second tier PE exam. Is anyone planning to take this exam here???

U. there's a talk next weekend.

Professional Interview Workshop on Enhanced PI Process
http://www.myiem.org.my/events/eventregist...on.aspx?id=6844

Top industries where Ir will give advantage:
1. Building services consultancy (M&E or C&S)
2. Oil & gas industry (especially design firms and project fabrication)
3. Higher education (lecturers etc)

Other than these, make no difference. Never seen and Ir working in a factory all my life.

sorry, reposted

It might touch a bit on PCE but I don't think it will mainly discuss about that. And I would like to ask about Log Book Scheme. Seems like this scheme is not realistic and workable....

Any news of the PCE? Like no details about it.

There was one article in IEM magazine this year talked about this. I forget which month already. At the moment there is no reference book, material or whatsoever to prepare for this exam.
