Professional Engineer

• Public Safety• Mobility• Professional Development

The Technology Team

• Scientists• Engineers• Technologists• Technicians• Artisans/Craftsman

Note: The Technology Team should not be confused withthe project or design team. The latter is truly multidisciplinary,and includes management, sales, purchasing, etc.

The Engineering TeamEngineer

◦ Conceptual design◦ Research◦ Project planning◦ Product innovation◦ System development◦ Supervision of technologists,

technicians, and craftsmenTechnologist

◦ Routine product development◦ Construction supervision◦ Technical sales◦ Hardware design and development◦ Coordination of work force,

materials, and equipment◦ Supervision of technicians and

craftsman

• Technician– Drafting– Estimating– Field inspections– Data collection– Surveying– Technical writing

• Craftsman– Uses hand and power tools to

service, maintain, and operate machines or products useful to the engineering team

Assessment Examinations

• Registered Engineer Assessment Examination will be lighter than Professional Assessment Examination , need to know basic things for doing engineering works in his discipline.

• Professional Engineer Assessment Examination will be heavy and need to know more detail and must have knowledge in design and practical field of his discipline.

For Registration of ACPE For Registration of PE

Criteria for ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineers (ACPE)

• 1- Completed an accredited or recognized engineering program

• 2- Been assessed within their own jurisdiction as eligible for independent practice

• 3- Gained a minimum of seven years practical experience since graduation

• 4- Spent at least two years in responsible charge of significant engineering work.

• 5- Complied with Continuing Professional Development (CPD) policy at a satisfactory level

• 6- Registered ACPE must agree to the following----1- Codes of Professional Conduct---2- Accountability

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

Eligible to Apply to become ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (ACPE)

• After register as Professional Engineer at Myanmar Board of Engineers , Registered PE can apply to become ACPE to ACPE Monitoring Committee (MC)

• ALL applicants need to fulfill the requirements laid down by Monitoring Committee as per MRA requirements and its Review Panel.

Applications for Professional Engineers • Application Forms are available at – Myanmar Board of

Engineers – Myanmar Engineering Society Building at Kyat 1000/- per set.

• First Form –Application for a Professional Engineer – This form is to be submitted to MBE with initial Registration Fee & Assessment Fee of Kyat 25000/-. MBE will arrange orientation courses for Assessment for Applicants.

• Second Form-Application for Professional Assessment-This form is to be submitted after the Applicant has gained knowledge and experiences of the prescribed requirements on his own and ready to be assessed by MBE. After successful assessment and after the registration fee of Kyat 50000/- is paid, the Applicant will be registered as PE and certificate will be given.

Professional Engineer Categories• Civil – 1- Structural ,2- Geotechnical,3-Road, 3-Bridge,4-Water Resources , 5-

Building Construction• Construction Management• Environmental• Electronics• Electrical • Mechanical – 1. Airconditioning, Refrigeration and Mechanical Ventilation, 2.

Automobile, 3. Industrial, Manufacturing & Process,4. Machinery & Equipment Maintenance

• Chemical• Mining• Metallurgy• Petroleum • And others• We are discussing with Senior Engineers and other experienced engineers to

develop the requirements and essential needs of PE in various discipline and specific area.

Fundamentals of Engineering Subjects

Professional Engineer Assessment• Professional Engineer Exam• To submit Summary of Professional Experience• To submit Report on Engineering Experience• Professional Interview (PI)• Assessment will be done by Senior Experienced Engineers and

Members of Myanmar Board of Engineers• In this initial stage 20 years experienced engineers who are

involved in engineering practices in his or her life and have sound knowledge on engineering will get special treatment but need to fulfill requirements set out for them such as attending special courses and attending workshops and making presentations and need to write a sound report on his or her professional experiences. Professional Experiences is a must for PE.
