Accreditation Process:
The Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) through its Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) assesses and accredits engineering degrees offered by institutions of higher learning. This is done by forming an accreditation team whose members are appointed by EAC. The accreditation team shall consist of at least three members in the same or related discipline of the course to be accredited. At least one of the members should be from an academic institution and one from industry/practice. The accreditation team shall visit the institution to audit the facilities and have dialogue with academic staff and students.
There are two types of accreditation given by BEM: conditional accreditation and full accreditation. The period of full accreditation shall be five years after which it has to be revalidated. Where there are minor shortcomings in meeting the accreditation requirement, the programme may be given conditional accreditation for a period of not more than 2 years during which the faculty must take necessary corrective measures.
BEM use as a guide the list for Professional/Chartered Engineer by the accreditation organisations of the country where the degree is issued.
Prior to conduct new engineering programme institution of higher learning shall obtain approval from the relevant authorities. The authority normally will require supporting document from EAC.
