Because BEM/IEM requires at least 6 months of design experience and 6 months of site experience. I am not sure if I can get both experience working on the same role for 3 years.

It depends on how you define those 6 months worth of experience. Doing some field change at site is considered design work. Site visit to resolve problems can be considered as site work. For the duration of 3 years, very likely able to achieve 6 months of both.

Yeah I actually don't know how BEM/IEM define those experiences, couldn't find any supporting documents from BEM/IEM that helps to define those experiences.

Hmm if field change is considered design work from BEM/IEM, then ya the likelyhood is really high.

A lot of ambiguity and there's no clear definition. It's up to you to define. When you are approved to be interviewed, and the assessors question you about your design knowledge, then you will be in trouble if you do not know what you claim you know. Otherwise, you will be perfectly fine.

Any CEng sifu here?

What made you decided to be a CEng?

The annual fee is around Rm 2200+ while IEM membership is only Rm 155? Looking at this fee, i dont know should i just follow IEM pathway and prepare for PE application.

If you are a practicing engineer in Malaysia, you are better off taking a Malaysian PE. A CEng in Msia can’t sign and approve design and drawings, unlike an Ir. But if you have RM2200 to spare it doesn’t hurt to apply for a CEng besides having an Ir.

If aim for PE application, BEM or PAE is more straight forward route. Getting CEng and convert the PEng also possible now. I used that route, one of the first batch, that time no extra exam or interview but have to submit a report. CEng mostly for the title only, not much use in Malaysia, sometime forgot to renew .
