Professional Engineer Q&A: Part 15

Q26: What would happen if I am told to do some periods of non engineering work by my employer?
One way to overcome this is that you inform your mentor that you are doing non-engineering works for that period and stop the log-book recording for that period.



Q27: Pre-Graduation training for Sandwich Courses is partly recognised by ICE for the purpose of its P.I. Is IEM offering the same recognition?
No.

Engineers are generally quite clear on what needs to be done when there is a requirement for smoke control in a specific large area.

However, often enough engineers are at loss as to; how a small penetration through a fire compartment should be treated, what constitute a fire rated duct, is a vertical fire damper the same as a horizontal fire damper, or why the 6/10 Air-change rule for smoke control system.
The objective of this talk is to identify the various codes available in Malaysia related to Smoke Control System and how to, and when should each code and/or its various section be applied in a smoke control design for conventional building. The talk will discuss appropriate approaches to conventional smoke control design and calculation taking into consideration of the various elements and limitation of the intended equipments and allowable configuration.

Event: HALF DAY WORKSHOP ON UNCOVERING THE POWER OF PATENT SEARCHING




Date : 15th October 2011 (Saturday)
Time : 9.00 a.m. – 12.00 noon
Venue : C&S Lecture Room, 2nd Floor, Wisma IEM, PJ
Presenter : Liew Chee Keat / Puvaneswarri Nanjappan

To say that the process of R&D involves a lot of research is an understatement. It is, after all, at least one half of the process. But how often do you find yourselves facing irrelevant data in the course of your research? How do you ensure that you get useful information, each and every time? How do you sniff out the cash from the trash? In this workshop, we will guide and train you on the fundamentals of conducting patent searches. Participants will be introduced to free patent search engines and learn how to choose correct keywords and how to search using the International Patent Classification (IPC). The session will be an interactive one, so participants are strongly encouraged to experiment with the search engines and ask questions to facilitate their learning about patent searches


Tentative Programme:

0830-0900 Registration

0900-1030 Uncover the Power of Patent Searching (Part I)

1030-1045 Break

1045-1200 Uncover the Power of Patent Searching (Part II)

Professional Engineer Q&A: Part 14

Q25: What happens when a graduate trains under a non corporate member?
In such cases, he may have problems with his training. This LBS will safeguard the candidate. For example, a candidate could be trained by a senior engineer, who is not a corporate member of the Institution, but this senior engineer may have an immediate supervisor who is a member and who could provide the necessary guidance on training. Or maybe the candidate could get someone who is a corporate member to be his mentor and someone who can guide and make sure that the non corporate member who is training the candidate is providing the suitable and approved training experience.

Q26: What would happen if I am told to do some periods of non engineering work by my employer?
One way to overcome this is that you inform your mentor that you are doing non-engineering works for that period and stop the log-book recording for that period.

Professional Engineer Q&A: Part 13

Q23: Who approves and what qualifications must a mentor have?
The IEM will have to verify and approve your mentor. Ideally, he should have at least 3 years MIEM qualification and be from the same discipline as yours. Corporate members who have been Professional Interviewers for IEM are an ideal choice.

Q24: Can non corporate members be mentors?
Usually the person who is a mentor must be of a certain professional standing. A non corporate member of the IEM will not be able to give candidates tile right training that the Institution requires.
