SYNOPSIS
Malaysia has developed into a global engineering player with projects in several countries around the world. Confidence in our engineers’ capabilities relates to the level of engineering education they received. Therefore, our engineering education curriculum must be benchmarked at international level. Our involvement with the International Engineering Alliance (IEA) and the 3 Accords under its purview becomes crucial to ensure confidence in our engineering contributions to the world. The how and what of the requirements of the IEA to ensure substantial equivalence of our qualifications will be discussed in this talk.
