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 .
*
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.

1200 to 2000 dollars a day is pretty standard depending on assignment.
*
2k per day but assigned to employee to do the job. If freelance inspector, only can do a job per day. If PE, can take 10 jobs assign to 10 engineers per day. 2k x 10 - engineer salary? If the job require PE to attend himself, I saw one charging 300sgd per hour. Fiona Chin, please comment you hold the account for your husband's company.

That would be running an engineering consultancy and you cannot have an underling do the majority of your work and you sign it off.

The code (at least here in Australia) requires that you directly supervise all work done by a non-PE that is going to be signed off by yourself. Direct supervision meaning continued and sustained guidance with the majority of the technical input. I know of quite a few cases where the state government has prosecuted and resulted in really large fines and termination of title.

Thus there's a real limit to how many projects you can take on. The judge is usually not impressed if you tell them you somehow managed to directly supervise 10 projects at a time.
*
How many is many ah? What is the limit ah? How much direct supervision is sufficient ah quantify in terms of % of total hours spent on project? How much % then is consider majority of technical input ah? Most of those are qualitative and subject to each person interpretation right? Some work 9 to 5, Mon to Fri, some passionate one work 8 am to 2 am, Mon to Sun, hard to put an exact limit also. Not like some other law like carry more than how many gram of heroin then life sentence those.

As many as the judge thinks. If you want to argue the definition, you better be sure that your personal interpretation is the same as the guy who sits behind that bench with the power to fine you, strip you of your CPEng and in some cases sends you to jail.

Arguing reasonable definition most of the time will get the judge/magistrate more pissed at you laugh.gif

Lucky I no need worry those things cause no CPEng. Work for people best, worry free laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif .

I have 2 overseas PEng license but I won't be using 1 of them ever. Always better to have something than not to have. Still trying my application for Malaysia IR. Its not much of an effort if you doing your job correctly. Going for exams and interviews are just like another day of work, and a much simple one compare to the clients out there.

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.

Any date mentioned for application?

Yaya, I know 2 Civil 2 Electrical but don't know the other 2. Passing rate lower than expected. Thought 1st batch will have higher rate coz 1 year already no new PEPC come out. Quite scary.

Asked them before tentatively November this year. Last year also November, application around September. Keep an eye on BEM webiste.

QUOTE(josephlau7966 @ Jun 16 2017, 12:05 PM)
I think this exam is yet to be well implemented. The scope of the exam is too wide and no reference book to study at the moment. Just a few classes conducted by IEM before the exam.  Extreme low passing rate is for sure. And I expect it won't be improving much in the coming few years.
*
Scope quite wide but all the questions that came out were inside the syllabus. Need to buy many reference books accordingly. A bit disadvantage for outstation candidates cause limited amount of books can bring to the exam hall. Generally all those questions are what encountered in daily work and some part is general knowledge.

hi all, a lot of good information here. Just want to confirm a few things from what I gathered:
1. an IR mentor is not necessary, provided that you can find an external IR that is willing to endorse your application when you applied?

2. I have worked for 18 months without a supervision of an IR. Does that experience count?

3. If I don't have IR mentor in the company, do I need to follow the Log Book scheme? I read the answers above saying a written report can replace the logbook, but do I need an IR mentor for this to be eligible?

Thanks all. Have a nice day
*
I went through route 3 so maybe different from the other 2 route.

1. External Ir can certify true copy of certs etc. For the experience report, BEM asked for endorsed copy, I just get it from my ex boss who is not an Ir but Ir equivalent (overseas PE). Should be more relevant than an external Ir who don't really know what you do.

2. The experience count from the day of getting graduate engineer. The experience after obtaining graduate engineer may or may not be engineering related, so that depends what you submit and answer BEM if they ask.

3. As 1. Should have Ir equivalent in the company you working if engineering related. From the other thread you in SG? There are many Malaysian Irs working there, can try ask around if they willing to be mentor.
