How to become P.Eng?1) After graduation, an engineer needs to

register with Board of Engineers Malaysia to be a-graduate engineer.

2) After a few years of practical experience (supervised by a professional engineer or under mentorship program), the graduate engineer can apply to sit for Professional Interview (with IEM or direct BEM).

3) If he/she passes the Interview, he/she can apply to BEM to be a Professional Engineer that entitles him/her to use the title P.Eng.

How can one achieve IR Status?1) An engineer who has just graduated with a recognized qualification must register with the Board of Engineers Malaysia. 2) Then registered as graduate member for a minimum period of three to four or six years or based on period specified by IEM/BEM. 3) He/she can then start to obtain the necessary training and experience, normally four years, before he/she can attempt to sit for the Professional Interview,an exam to qualify Graduate Members of IEM to be transferred to Corporate Members.
