Guide: How to Register with BEM (Board of Engineers Malaysia)

Registration for Graduate Engineer

As stated by BEM in their website, 

Any person who wants to take up employment as an engineer must be registered as a Graduate Engineer with BEM. BEM recognises the experience gained by an engineering graduate only after he has registered as a Graduate Engineer. As such, it is prudent for an engineering graduate to register as a Graduate Engineer at the very beginning of his engineering career.

It is not a common practice for engineers in Malaysia to register with BEM, as most of our engineers are not registered with this body especially the experience ones. Then, we can still practices our engineering skills and knowledge in the industry without being recognized by our own board of engineers.

However, we can gain some benefits by registering with the board. Some company requires their engineer recruits to register with BEM as there are projects which only allows registered engineers to participate. Registering as a Graduate Engineer also is starting step for us to persue Professional Engineer status or commonly known as IR engineer.
