Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is the oldest branch of the engineering profession.
They are involved with infrastructure and environmental projects.
It involves the planning, design, supervising, construction and maintaining of facilities for both the public and private sectors.
Civil Engineering involves the design and construction of buildings, transportation facilities and engineering structures like bridges, dams, roads, airports, tunnels, bridges, water supply and sewage systems, waste treatment, harbours, railways, highways and other public utilities.
Civil engineers may specialise in particular areas of major works such as structural engineering, water resources, construction, environmental, transportation, and geotechnical engineering.
They must consider many factors in the design process, from the construction costs and expected lifetime of a project to government regulations and potential environmental hazards such as landslides, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes.
Creativity and innovation are needed to solve problems such as the SMART Tunnel which solves transportation and flood problems or the Mass Rapid Transportation (MRT) currently being built in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The job prospects are good for Civil Engineers in Malaysia as the country is still growing
and major companies also have projects in developing countries.
Professional Recognition
The Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) registers graduates and professional engineers under the Registration of Engineers Act 1967 (Revised 2002). The requirement for registration as a graduate engineer is a degree in engineering recognised by the Board.
A professional engineer (Ir or PEng) is a person who is licensed to practice to practice engineering in Malaysia after meeting all requirements of
the (e.g. pass PI Examination).
Only an Ir/P.Eng. can sign and seal engineering documents that are engineering documents that are submitted to a public authority or for public and private clients. This is very important especially for Civil Engineers who needs to become a Professional Engineer in order to sign the blueprints.
