ACCREDITED QUALIFICATIONS FOR REGISTRATION AS GRADUATE ENGINEERS
Introduction
The purpose of accreditation is to ensure that the accredited engineering programme satisfies the minimum academic requirements for registration as a graduate engineer with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia (BEM).
In accordance with the purpose, the BEM evaluates programme or programmes leading to the award of engineering degrees and accredits those programmes, which are adjudged as adequately preparing their graduates for registration as graduate engineers and entry into the profession.
BEM reserves the right to review the list at any time without notice and intending candidates are advised to check with BEM before proceeding for further studies.
1. List of Accredited Engineering Programmes
2. Recognition of Overseas Engineering Degrees
BEM uses as a guide the list for Professional/Chartered Engineer by the accreditation organisations of the country where the degree is issued. Candidates are advised to check with the relevant Engineering Accreditation bodies' web site for the list recognised degrees of professional chartered level. However, BEM reserves the right to review the list at any time without notice.
The recognition of engineering degree from overseas (full time/twinning) will be based on the accreditation given by professional bodies who are signatories of Washington Accord:

Notes:
Organisations holding provisional status have been identified as having qualification accreditation or recognition procedures that are potentially suitable for the purposes of the Accord; those organisations are further developing those procedures with the goal of achieving signatory status in due course; qualifications accredited or recognised by organisations holding provisional status are not recognised by the signatories. (Recognition of degree from country with provisional status will be based on case by case basis by Board of Engineers Malaysia until full signatory is obtained)
