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.

Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs Program Outcomes and Assessment

Engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data

(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
(d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs Program Outcomes and Assessment (cont,)
(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (g) an ability to communicate effectively

(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

Basic Needs for Professional Engineer

Graduate from Accredited / Recognized University Have Professional Experiences Passed Fundamentals of Engineering Examination Passed Professional Engineer Assessment Examination Passed Professional Interview

Myanmar Board of Engineers (MBE) 1. Myanmar Board of engineers is an authorized agency of Professional Regulatory Authority (PRA) to register the National Engineers as Registered Graduate Engineer (RGE), Registered Diploma Engineer (RDE), Registered Technologist Engineer (RTE), Senior Registered Engineer (SRE) ,Professional Engineer (PE).Now at initial stage Registration of Professional Engineer (PE) is started. 2. To classify the grade of foreign and local companies, which related to engineering construction works.

3. To review and check Technical related competency matters of

construction and consultation companies for registration. .

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 , 5Building 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.

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.
