The course name is Continuing Professional Development course.

CPD is the planned acquisition of knowledge, experience and skill of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional duties throughout the working life, which encompass both technical and non-technical subject areas.

Engineering provides an ever changing spectrum of challenges and opportunities. It is extremely vital that all engineers be committed to their own Continuing Professional Development (CPD) so that they could face these challenges and at the same time take advantage of opportunities that may arise.

Page 24: Route to Professional Engineers BPK 4032 Engineers and Society.

……Continuing Professional Continuing Professional Development courseDevelopment course

Why require CPD? Rapid advancement in latest techniques, new materials and state

of the art technology The objectives of the courses:

To enrich knowledge with the latest findings in engineering technology and preparation to become professionals

To educate engineer on their responsibility and professionalism in their work

To widen knowledge of engineering and of work organization and to demonstrate available techniques both practical and analytical can be best applied

To equip themselves to undertake engineering projects, appreciating the technical, safety, economic, commercial and social commitment.

Page 25: Route to Professional Engineers BPK 4032 Engineers and Society.

Broadly speaking CPD includes activities that extends and/or updates the knowledge, skill or judgment and enables to:-Understand and apply advances in the arts and

CPD Policy: The CPD requirement will apply to all Professional Engineers. The CPD shall be an average of 50 hours per year over a three year The Professional Engineer may apply to BEM for (partial/total)

exemption of CPD requirement. Formal recognition of CPD will be provided by BEM. CPD activities will

be carried out by BEM or other reputable organizations authorised by

BEM The BEM will promote continuing education opportunities. The BEM will promote and endorse CPD courses offered by

professional institutions, educational institutions, employers and industry. The BEM will encourage employers and industry in the promotion and support of CPD for their employees. The BEM will administer a CPD audit system – up to 10% of practising Professional Engineers will be randomly audited each year.

Page 28: Route to Professional Engineers BPK 4032 Engineers and Society.

……Continuing Professional Continuing Professional DevelopmentDevelopment

CPD Policy… This will enable the local construction industry to instill

and uphold a greater level of professionalism and professional expertise in view of globalisation and the challenges associated with it in the international services sector.

The policy is aimed to further improve and broaden the knowledge and skill of engineers in performing their duties in line with current practice and regulations

The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia is well placed to be an organisation capable of assisting BEM in the implementation of the CPD policy and programme

Page 29: Route to Professional Engineers BPK 4032 Engineers and Society.

……Continuing Professional Continuing Professional DevelopmentDevelopment

CPD Hours for Activities of IEM• The CPD shall be an average of 50 hours

per year over a three year • All IEM activities as itemised in the guideline

would be eligible for CPD hours under BEM’s requirement. Members are therefore encouraged to actively participate in those activities so that they could achieve the required CPD hours

• IEM will endorse brochures/ flyers/ announcements of activities organised by IEM

Page 30: Route to Professional Engineers BPK 4032 Engineers and Society.

……Continuing Professional Continuing Professional DevelopmentDevelopment

Certificate of Attendance… The engineer keeps a good record of the activities that

he/she may have had taken part in or shall be taking part in future (request for a compilation of activities previously attended)

This requirement for professional engineers to keep in pace with the development of the field in which the professional engineer is engaged in, is in line with a global trend requiring engineers to equip themselves with the latest developments in their engineering field of specialisation

CPD hours may also be allocated for seminars, conferences, short courses, workshop, etc.

Page 31: Route to Professional Engineers BPK 4032 Engineers and Society.

……Continuing Professional Continuing Professional DevelopmentDevelopment

…Certificate of Attendance Activities like writing of journal papers that have been

published in respectable publications, books on engineering subjects, special research reports, specific standards of practice, course leading to a higher degree programmes, and activities in other disciplines but having a direct contribution to the development of the engineering profession are also accepted for clocking CPD hours.

Keeping a copy of brochures, announcements, certificates, notes obtained or handouts and a certified document of having partaken in that activity is to the advantage of the engineer as these may be used to seek approval for CPD attainment later on.
