Extra exam for engineering grads to qualify as professionals
• Graduate engineers
g will soon find it tougher

and to carry the Ir title before their name. The bar for the profession will be raised
come 2008 with the introduction of an additional competency examination.

• Citing greater competition with the advance of globalisation
globalisation, it was about time the
bar was raised and better engineers were produced. “The additional examination will
cover competency in the practice as well as in the laws of the land”.

• The current system allows for graduate engineers with at least three years' working
experience to sit a single examination called the Professional Assessment Examination
(PAE). Upon passing the PAE, the engineer would be considered a professional and
would earn the right to use the “Ir”
Ir title.
• But come Jan 1, 2008, candidates who want to sit the PAE will also have to sit for the
competency examination. Engineers who fail the competency examination would not
be considered professionals.

• Board of Engineers Malaysia (LJM) has decided that starting Jan 1, 2007, the PAE
will be conducted solely by IEM on behalf of the board.
