The Graduate and Student (G&S) Section of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia was established more than 30 years ago (in the early 70s). The main objective of the G&S Section is to cultivate and expose young engineers into the professional engineering world. At the same time, this exposure will enhance their rapport among fellow engineers and acts as a platform for them to embark on a career in engineering. As at May 2004, the G&S Section has over 7800 members, which amounts to almost half of total IEM membership. Approximately 3/4 of this figure comprise of Graduate members, with the balance being Student members. These figures are expected to significantly increase in the near future as a growing pool of technical engineering expertise is necessary to support Malaysia’s rapid path towards industrialisation. As the G&S Section sails into the New Millennium foreseeing more challenges ahead, the current Committee has recently spent significant effort to develop a clear vision of the Section’s role in IEM.
