The story of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) begins with the

nation's independence. The Institution, born exactly 2 !onths afterMerde"a # on May $, $%&% # has had a !ar"ed influence on the engineeringprofession in the country.

ac" in $%&$, the uilding y#laws stated that only those who wereregistered under the rchitects *rdinance $%&$, could sub!it plans to the+ocal uthorities, but engineers are not allowed to sub!it building plan.

They are only allowed if they registered under art II of the rchitects*rdinance, but this created unsatisfactory feeling. There was a strong needfor an Institution to cater the interest of engineers.

-ro! $%&$#&%, the actiities of engineers were organised under the /oint

group of I0E1I Mech E1IEE.The Institution of Engineers was for!ed in$%&%

with the ob/ectie of adancing the engineering profession.In order to unite

all engineers in the country, the Institution has been wor"ing towards the

registration of engineers since its establish!ent. In $%3, the Engineers

ct was passed with the proision that to register as a rofessional

Engineer, one !ust first be a 0orporate Me!ber of the Institution.

t first, to be granted ad!ission to 0orporate Me!bership, one needs only to

hae fie years wor"ing experience as an Engineer regardless of what

capacity. +ater, the 0onstitution was a!ended and rofessional Interiew was

introduced. This was to ensure that only engineers haing the releant

experience would be ad!itted to 0orporate Me!bership and could register as

a rofessional Engineer.

It has grown and !atured with the nation and its people. It started out withonly !e!bers. *er the past two and a half decades, its !e!bership hasincreased !ore than a hundred#fold to al!ost $&, today, !a"ing it one ofthe largest professional bodies in Malaysia.

The close rapport between the IEM and the goern!ent has beenstrengthened oer the years. The tangible result of the 4oern!ent'srecognition of IEM was when it accepted 5ualification for certain posts in theciil serice.esides gaining 4oern!ent bac"ing, IEM also receied its firstinternational recognition when it was ad!itted into the 0o!!onwealthEngineering 0ouncil in $%2.

In today's specialised technologically based society there is a great dependence

affected by the wor" of the engineer. -or that wor" to be fully effectie it is

necessary not only that engineers strie constantly to widen their "nowledge and

i!proe their s"ill but also that the co!!unity be willing to recognise the integrity

and trust the /udg!ent of !e!bers of the profession of engineering. -or this to

ELETRIAL ENGINEERING

The electrical engineer is concerned with the generation, trans!ission and

utilisation of electrical energy@ with industrial control and industrial electronics@ and

with application electronics to such dierse fields as co!!unications, co!puters,

instru!entation, !edicine and auto!atic control.

ecause of the diersity of electrical engineering, opportunities are aailable in

irtually eery phase of industrial actiity and goern!ent serice. Electrical

engineers are in de!and in !anufacturing, !ining, transportation, construction,

utilities, co!!unications,oil exploration and product deelop!ent. -or those with

an interest in co!puter hardware or software, the increasing use of!inico!puters and !icroprocessors in instru!entation, !edical and diagnostic

serices, signal processing and industrial process control has lead to challenging

opportunities. fter extensie experience in any of these fields, an electrical

engineer !ay offer his serices as a consultant.

ME$ANIAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical engineers are not li!ited in their e!ploy!ent to only one or two

industrial sectors, and /ob openings for !echanical engineers co!prise an

unending range of opportunities. The education of a !echanical engineer coersa broad range of topics including the !echanics of !aterials, !achine dyna!ics,

ther!odyna!ics, fluid !echanics, auto!atic control and co!puter#aided design.

In addition to the traditional role of !echanical engineers in the deelop!ent of

!achinery, the graduates are increasingly ta"ing a role in the deelop!ent of

robots for adanced !anufacturing syste!s, in auto!ation of industrial

processes, in naal architecture and in bioengineering.
