About the Talk

On the 18th March 2015, Adj. Professor Cheang presented a talk entitled “I Have Never Registered Even Though I Have Worked as an Engineer for Years – Is It Really Necessary?” in UKM. The talk was co-organized by IEEE CPMT Malaysia, IEEE EDS Malaysia and Institute of Microengineering and Nanoelectronics, UKM. This talk dealt on many issues of common interest to engineering students in Malaysia such as the differences between the roles of the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), as well as the requirements and procedures for achieving Professional Engineer status, with reference to recent amendments to the Registration of Engineers Act. A brief overview of regional and international registrations were also be covered by Adj. Prof Cheang. The one-hour talk extended to almost two hours because of various questions raised by the attendees. More talks of similar interests and values will be organized for IEEE members and students alike in the near future.
