Basic Requirements
▪ The Registration of Engineers Act (REA) mandates
engineering graduates to register with Board of
Engineers Malaysia (BEM) as a Graduate Engineer
after completing an engineering programme.
▪ The academic requirement for registration as graduate
engineer is the engineering programme (typically 4
years) that has been accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia.
3
Requirements for PI Application
After meeting the following requirements:
✓ An accredited engineering degree;
✓ Registration as graduate engineer;
✓ At least three years of practical training &
experience.
A graduate is ready to apply to sit for professional
interview (PI).

What is Assessed in PI
The professional interview will assess Competence.
5
What is Competence?
The ability to carry out a task to an effective standard, of
which the achievement requires the necessary level of
knowledge, understanding and skill, as well as a
professional attitude.
6
International Practice
▪ This is in line with the global move in the
international engineering communities towards an
outcome-based competence assessment for
international recognition.
▪ With this assessment method, the IEM PI would be on
par with the international practices.

Clarifying Concerns
✓ Each Candidate has unique work experience because
of the nature of job.
✓ Most Candidates are able to develop an acceptable
level of attainment in the majority of Competency
Elements.
✓ Nature of work sometimes makes Candidates lacking
in a few Competency Elements; but they can still pass
PI if they are good in most of the other Elements.

Objective Assessment -- Rubrics
Level Generic Statement of Attainment
1 Little or no evidence of competency
2 Some evidence of competence identified
3 Fully acceptable level of competency
4 Exceptionally strong level of competency

Key Enhancement (3)
Each of the 5 Competency Category consists of
a few Competency Elements.
There are 18 Competency Elements under the 5
Competency Categories – refer to document
IEM PI 0100.
Competency Elements

Objective Assessment
▪ Each of the 18 Competency Elements has four
thresholds representing four levels of mark.
▪ The mark awarded by PI Interviewers for each
Competency Element will be based on the evidence
demonstrated by Applicant or Candidate in the
document submitted and also during oral interview.
▪ Each threshold has a threshold statement that gives a
standard interpretation of the threshold, guiding the
differentiation between levels … hence minimising
individual subjectivity in assessment.

Main Benefits
• The assessment method is a competence-based and
evidence-based assessment; it will provide applicants /
candidates with a more objective and more balanced
assessment by minimizing the subjective judgment.
• The application form is equally friendly to all
professional engineering practices rather than focus on
engineering consultancy practices.
• The Training & Experience Report will have a
prescribed format for PI applicants to provide the
required evidence for specific competencies. This will
allow them to put up a better report.
70
Evidence
PI Applicants might have to spend a little more
time to write the evidence for their practical
experience; but it will be rewarding …..
Interviewers cannot fail a PI Candidate who has
demonstrated sufficient evidence on the required
competence elements in the submitted document as
well as in the oral interview and essay writing.
