About
Introduction to IEM
The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia also known as the IEM. It is a professional learned society serving more than 15,000 members in Malaysia, overseas and the communities in, which they work. It was formed in 1959 and was admitted a member of the Commonwealth Engineers Council in 1962. The Institution is a qualifying body for professional engineers in Malaysia. The Corporate member of the Institution can apply to the Board of Engineers, Malaysia (which is a registration body) for registration as a Professional Engineer, which will entitle him to set up practice. The qualification standards are determined by the Council of the Institution.
The Institution is one of the few professional engineering institutions in the world, which represents all disciplines of the profession, and is thus able to take a broad view of the professional scene.
Currently, the IEM has five (5) official representatives on the BEM out of a total Board membership of seventeen (17).
The IEM Miri branch was particularly formed to serve members and communities in the northern part of Sarawak. At our Miri Branch website, you will be able to find localised information on activities and happenings surrounding our area for the benefit and further outreach to our members.
