Memorandum of Understanding with Institutions of Higher Learning
IEM has embarked on the signing of MoUs with Institutions of Higher
Learning (IHLs) with a view to increase the membership of engineering students
in IEM, as well benefitting the staff and lecturers of the engineering
faculties of the IHLs. Through
the MoUs, the IHLs enjoy a financial incentive of 30% from the total membership
fees collected from the students for the purpose of the Student Chapter to fund
its activities on campus.
IEM will ensure that the students and graduates are
professionally affiliated with IEM by giving them the opportunity to attend
IEM’s activities which would enhance their professional development in terms of
their engineering career. As an IEM member, students are able to enjoy the
activities organised by IEM including courses, seminars, talks and visits which
are generally technical in nature to enhance and complement the theoretical
knowledge provided by the IHLs. Participating in events organised by IEM would
enable students to meet and communicate with senior or experienced engineers,
which will enhance their ability to understand and comprehend the lectures
better in the IHLs.
Becoming a member of IEM is the first step towards the journey of becoming
a registered professional engineer. Once a member has acquired the necessary
experience and pass an assessment of his or her competency set by IEM, he or
she will be then upgraded to the category of Corporate Member of the
Institution which carries the post-nominal “MIEM”. Corporate Members of IEM are qualified
competent engineers and could then choose to also change their registration
with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia as Professional Engineers and adopt the “Ir.”
pre-nominal and adding the “P.Eng” post-nominal to their name, hence
recognising them as registered professional engineers.
