6.4.2 Application for Graduate Membership of IEM
Q36: I would like to join the IEM but I have yet to get my degree certificate and official transcript. Does that mean that I would have to wait until I get them? Then I would not be able to participate in the activities organised by the IEM yet.
If your course is accredited by the IEM, we would process your application and grant you
membership even pending submission of copies of your degree and transcript. You are still
required to submit them after you have obtained them.
If there is ambiguity on the status of your course, your application would be kept in abeyance
until your submission is complete. In such a case, you would have to wait. But non-members are
also allowed to participate in IEM activities. Rate for Registration or Commitment fees shall be
per flyer as published by IEM.
Q37: I would like to join the IEM but I have yet to be registered by the Board of Engineers,
Malaysia (BEM). I find the process very time consuming and I lose a few months before I can
start the IEM Training Scheme. Is there no other way where I can minimise this loss of time?
If your course is accredited by the IEM, we would process your application and grant you
membership even pending submission of copies of your BEM registration letter. You are still
required to submit it after you have obtained it. You can then start on the IEM Training Scheme
immediately upon graduation.

Event Report: One-day Workshop on “Electrical Protection System”
Nowadays, electricity has become essential for a household and we duel with electrical equipments every day s including Fans, Lights, and Air Conditioning etc. The electrical current in regular businesses and homes has enough power to cause death by electrocution. Even changing a light bulb without unplugging the lamp can be fatal because coming in contact with the live part of the socket. Therefore, necessary protection shall be applied in design to protect life and damage of property.
The “One-day Workshop on Electrical Protection System” organized by The Young engineers Section on 6th December 2011 was attended by 39 participants. The facilitator for the workshop was En. Dahari Bin Mat Siran, who has involved intensively in the Working Group and Technical Committee for the developing of MS IEC 60898, MS IEC 61008, MS IEC 61009 and MS IEC 61643. He also the Chairman of Association of Suppliers Against Fake Electrical Equipment (ASAFEE).
He commenced the course by highlighting some definition in protection and introducing the standard that applied. He then explains how overcurrent could be happened in one circuit which is overcurrent and fault current. After the explanation, he described the function and the principle of Miniature Circuit Breaker in details.
He continues the second section with Residual current devices and the wiring regulations. He describes the symbols, marking and the type of Residual Circuit Device (RCD). He also describe the principle and the application of the RCD including the discrimination between devices.
After the lunch, En. Dahari continues the workshop by explaining the problem of lightning and switching transients including the direct and indirect strike. He then thought the audient to solve the problem by applying and selecting the correct Surge Protective Device (SPD).
He concluded the workshop with introducing the European Installation Bus system as the solution for home and building system engineering.
Participants then engaged actively in the Question and Answer session. And the workshop end with the certificate presentation.

Professional Engineer Q&A: Part 19
Q34: How would I know if my course is accredited by the BEM and the IEM?
There are many levels of recognition accorded by the BEM and the IEM on the various
engineering courses. It is best to check with the IEM Secretariat on the status of your course on an individual basis.
Q35: I am still a Student member of the IEM although I have graduated a few years ago. I understand that there is no obligation for us to transfer our membership grade. Would I encounter any problems later on?
You would not have any problems whatsoever, except that you would be charged a higher fee than a Graduate member when applying to sit for the Professional Interview. Please note that even though you are a Student member, you are still required to pay the subscription fees of a Graduate member once you are 24 years old.
You are required by the Registration of Engineers Act to register yourself with BEM as a Graduate Engineer. In the eyes of BEM your professional experience starts from the date of your letter of approval from BEM. You may decide to apply to sit for your Professional Engineer ten years after your graduation, but you can only apply to become a Professional Engineer with BEM, at least three years from the date of your letter of approval.
