The suffix IR derives from the word Ingenieur (Dutch: Master of Science)

IR only has value in Malaysia. If you are out of the country, the value is near to zero.

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 .

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)?

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

Nope, my friend joined Shell as an freshgrad without PE status.

IR from BEM/IEM (i pun confused which is which) is only recognized in Malaysia. Do you think Japan's Engineering Body will look at our IR and think that it's on par with theirs?

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

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

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 .

If my company doesn't have any recognized PE (IR), what would be my route to gain a PE status myself?

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