The objective of this course is to prepare young Malaysian engineers to be registered as ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineers (ACPE’s) and Registered Foreign Professional Engineers (RFPE’s). The programmes are thus designed to prepare young Malaysian engineers to overcome any nationalism negative mind-set and mental hurdle. The capacity building out-reach programme is aimed at young engineers, in particular, those who are engineering or engineering-technology students and graduates enroute to becoming professional engineers and experienced technologists.

The need of a well-structured course on engineering management methodology is essential to practising engineers who have the intention to develop their career as well as to be decision makers in their organization. This programme is specially designed to expose engineers on the art of managing Engineering Companies. Financial knowledge for engineers, project management, the needs of information technology in preparation for the challenges into the next millennium and so forth. This programme, in total, will expose the engineers with the contemporary management and functional skills to enable them to manage their work more effectively.

The Department of Standards Malaysia, SIRIM Berhad and the Civil & Structural Engineering Technical Division of IEM are jointly organizing a one-day seminar on “Adopting Eurocodes Eurocodes EC0 (Basic of structural design), EC1 (Actions on structures) and EC2 (Design of concrete structures) in Malaysia”.

The one-day seminar aims in providing participants with an overall view on Eurocodes EC0, EC1 and EC2 which are the design standards of the concrete building structures.  Topics of the fundamental concrete structure behaviour of flexure, shear and compression will be presented in detail. In addition, the Code requirement of concrete durability as well as the Malaysian treatment of Eurocodes will be highlighted.

SYNOPSIS

Project Management (PM) is a systematic application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to manage project activities in order to meet or exceed stake-holder’s needs and expectations. In a fast-moving business environment, studies have shown that the success rate of projects will improve and the ROI increases when a holistic and systematic approach to project management is adopted, especially for projects which are complex and dynamic.

Member engineers of IEM carry out many different types of projects in different environment, but their underlying goal always remain the same: to complete the projects on time, within budget and scope, and with an acceptable quality. To achieve this goal, it is not enough for the project engineers/ managers to merely have the hard technical skills and tools, but of paramount importance, they should also be equipped with people skills that are so essential for leading, motivating and managing project team members to carry out their tasks effectively.

This intensive 3-day course serves to address specifically the essential training needs of project managers/engineers/executives with special emphasis on an integrated approach to acquiring the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills of Project Management, including the hands-on applications of Microsoft Project software tool.
