Any person who wants to take up employment as an
engineer must be registered as a Graduate Engineer with
Board of Engineers (BEM). BEM recognizes the experience
gained by an engineering graduate only after he has
registered as a Graduate Engineer. As such, it is prudent
for an engineering graduate to register as a Graduate
Engineer at the very beginning of his engineering career.

P.Eng is a term referred to qualified engineers
practicing with license from the BEM.
P.Eng in Malaysia commonly use the title "Ir
(Ingenieur).
e.g. Ir. Shaharin A. Sulaiman, P. Eng, MIEM.
Why be a P. Eng?
In practice, the status is meaningful for
engineers involved in engineering
consultancy and turnkey contracting
business as it provides them the authority
to certify technical drawings and designs.
Being a PE is a pre-requisite for a
registrations in other bodies; e.g
registration of Competent Electrical
