IEM G&S-YES Retreat 2010

On the 26^th and 27^th of June 2010, the Young Engineers Section organized a retreat as the kick start activity for the newly formed session. The retreat took place at Genting View Resort, foothill of Genting Highland, a perfect place for discussion and brainstorming. The purpose of the retreat is to gather all committee members including co-opted members and volunteers to discuss the strategic plan for this session. There are total 11 members joined the retreat.

The committees are concentrating on the discussion

Navin presenting Mission and Vision of YES

During the retreat, the committee has revised the previous portfolio structure of YES, combining Social and Community portfolio and introduced Graduate portfolio to the new structure. The committee has brainstormed on activities to be carried out by portfolios as well as targets to be achieved. One of the outcomes proud to be mentioned was the committee has successfully drafted out the Standard of Procedures (SOP) including forms and checklist as a guideline to the committee to organize activities in near future.

After 1st day's session over, we took picture together in YES t-shirt to show our UNITY.

This is the new committees for the session 2010/11

Posing time...Everybody pose! Kachak..

Again these are the Committees...

The retreat has resulted fruitful outcomes to the committee as well as YES. The relationship between members was further improved, hence bringing the spirit of YES to a higher level. The committee has promised to carry out their responsibility with no doubt throughout the session and delivers more benefits to the graduate and student members of the Young Engineers Section.

PDP versus CPD

PDP versus CPD

After i attended monthly meeting of IEM G&S-YES yesterday, only i get to know that IEM has just implemented PDP against graduate engineers.

Many young engineers nowadays are more aware about IEM and BEM but not the lengthy application to become PE (Professional Engineer) behind. To become an engineer in Malaysia like many other countries, of course after graduated from degree engineering course one should first registered under BEM (Board of Engineers, Malaysia). What's more after that? If you're not member of IEM G&S-YES, perhaps you may not know more about the route to PE.

Recently IEM has just launched PDP which is known as Professional Development Point. Correct me if i'm wrong :) A total of 66 points need to be collected before you take PE. How can one collect points then? It's by attending activities organized by Young Engineers Section like meetings, socials activities or professional development courses. So it's an implementation to encourage graduate young engineers nowadays to join more activities instead of spending most of the time on working. Hey, there are lots of thing to learn outside the world than sitting in the office!

CPD on the other hand known as Continual Professional Development is applicable to those who already taken PE. Concept is the same as PDP. It's just to ensure Professional Engineers continue to develop their knowledge and skills eventhough they are pass to be a PE.
