Requirements for ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (ACPE) System

Notification of Participation to MRA on Engineering Services Professional Regulatory Authority (or Its Authorized Agency)-For National Professional Engineer. Monitoring Committee For ACPE Assessment Statement-For National PE and ACPE Licensing and Registration Rules for Engineering For National PE and need to submit to ACPE Coordinating Committee.

2005Attending ASEAN Coordination Committee on Services (CCS) meeting on this matters ,but no outcome ,because requirements of MRA are not executed 2007Ministry of Construction formed Professional Regulatory Authority with Public Works officials on 7th Nov 2007

Ministry of Construction formed Monitoring Committee as per MRA requirement on 16th June 2011 with officials from other Government Departments, City Development Committee Technical Institutes and Myanmar Engineering Society 27th SepCCS 66 held in Singapore - ACPECC 13 held back to back with CCS66 Myanmar delegation headed by Chairman of Monitoring Committee MD U Kyaw Lin , U Than Myint ,U Khin Maung Sai and U Tin Maung Win attended.
Letter of Participation for MRA on Engineering Services was submitted to General Secretary of ASEAN from FERD This is the very first step to become an official member of ACPECC (ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer Coordinating Committee)

Fulfillment of ASEAN MRA Requirements

After attending 4 consecutive ASEAN meetings and with collaboration and support of Ministry of Construction and FERD the requirements are fulfilled. Now we are implementing the Professional Engineer (PE) System and ASEAN Chartered Professional (ACPE) System .

Advantages of PE System and ACPE System

First, Professional Engineer System is needed for safe guarding the Public Second, In this globalization age Mobility of Engineers is needed, for this need Professional Engineer System is must for mutual recognition Third , PE system will enhance the development of Engineering Profession as PE needs Qualification and need to comply Continuing Professional Development requirements.

 According to ASEAN MRA on Engineering Services , National PE must be registered at ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer Coordinating Committee (ACPECC). For working in other ASEAN countries, First National PE must be ACPE and then register at host country Professional Regulating Authority as Registered Foreign Professional Engineer and work in collaboration with Local PE.

 So, when PEs from ASEAN Countries come to Myanmar as ACPEs we must have our Local ACPEs to work with them. It is really important of our Country for the benefit of our Country and Development of our Engineering Profession and safeguarding of National Professionals during our National Development Stage and under ASEAN Free Trade Agreement. For those who want to work in other ASEAN Countries also have the right to work as Registered Foreign Professional Engineers.

So ADVANTAGES are-1- SAFETY -2- MOBILITY -3- ENGINEERING PROFESSION DEVELOPMENT -4- BENEFICIAL TO OUR NATION AND ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS
