Board of Engineers Malaysia

The Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), through its Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC), conducts accreditation of engineering degree programmes offered by institutions of higher learning within Malaysia. Accreditation is done through the evaluation panel (from academic and industry/practice) whose members are appointed by EAC. The accreditation panel visits the institution to evaluate the curriculum, facilities and the quality management system and have dialogues with management, academic and support staff, students and industry stakeholders. Where there are minor shortcomings in meeting the accreditation requirement, a programme may be given accreditation for a period of less than five years during which the faculty must take necessary corrective measures. The period of full accreditation is five years after which it has to be revalidated.
