In conjunction with BEM National Engineering Convention 2025 (NEC 2025), the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) has launched the Industry Advisory Panel (IAP) Register.
The purpose of this register is to connect Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs) in Malaysia with experienced industry professionals who are keen to share their expertise and insights.
As a member of the IAP, you may be invited to provide guidance on:
• Engineering programme curriculum development
• Emerging technologies and industry trends
• Desired graduate attributes and competencies
This collaboration empowers IHLs to continuously enhance the quality and relevance of their engineering programmes, ensuring that graduates are well-equipped to meet the evolving demands of the profession and contribute meaningfully to national development.
We warmly invite experienced professionals from the engineering industry to volunteer their expertise by registering in the BEM IAP Register. Your professional profile will be made available to IHLs for consideration in forming their respective IAPs. Appointments will be coordinated directly between the IHLs and the selected panel members.
The scope of work for IAP members may vary across IHLs. Typically, panel meetings are held once or twice a year. Your contributions will play a vital role in supporting academic excellence, programme enhancement, and accreditation efforts.
As an IAP member, you will support IHLs in:
• Advising on curriculum development, technological advancement and innovation
• Aligning academic programmes with current and future industry needs
• Enhancing graduate employability through strategic insights
• Strengthening collaboration between academia and industry
Your expertise helps ensure that engineering, engineering technology, and engineering technician education in Malaysia remains future-ready, aligned with global standards, and responsive to the requirements of the BEM.
If you are passionate about nurturing the next generation of engineering talent, we invite you to complete a quick registration form (it only takes about 10 minutes!) via the link below.
