How to Become an IR Engineer in Malaysia

Malaysian IR Engineers must complete a registration process. Becoming registered is

essential to establishing your engineering career. In fact, by Malaysian law, no one can use
the "Ir" designation or work as a professional IR engineer until the registration is completed.
The "Ir" in IR Engineer is an abbreviation for Ingenieur. Professional engineers in Malaysia
apply the designation before their names. The "Ir" identifies them as engineers who meet
the highest professional standards. The Board of Engineering Malaysia (BEM) oversees
registration.
