Enhanced PI Process
Enhanced PI Process
Conventional PI Process
Currently, we have two PI Processes in operation.
Applicants have the choice to select one of the two
processes for professional interview.
The purpose of this session is to brief you on the
Enhanced PI Process.
Route to MIEM / PE 84
Enhanced PI Process
Malaysia
The existing PI Process has been revised for

enhancement.
The Revised PI Process is not a new PI
Process; it is the enhanced version of the
existing PI Process.
Thus, we call the revised version as the
Enhanced PI Process and the existing version
as the Conventional PI Process.
Route to MIEM / PE
85
Malaysia
Same in Structure
The Enhanced PI Process has the same structure
as the Conventional PI Process that consists of two
parts, namely:
Part 1 : Documentary review of competency
evidence to assess Applicant’s eligibility and readiness
for Professional Interview.
Part 2 : In-person assessment of Candidate that
consists of a face-to-face oral interview as well as
writing two essays.
Route to MIEM / PE
86
Malaysia
Key Enhancement (1)
1) Give PI Candidates a more objective and more
balanced assessment.
Current assessment for both oral interview and
written papers are mainly performed with subjective
judgment of Interviewers -- individual ruler.
 Pass or fail in existing PI assessment sometimes
depends on whether the Candidate is interviewed
by a stringent or lenient Interviewers – luck factor.
 Candidate can fail just because of only one item
assessed as not satisfactory even though other items
are assessed as more than satisfactory.
Malaysia
Key Enhancement (1)
Measure the knowledge, understanding, skills and
professional attitude necessary for the PI
Candidates to perform effectively – Competence.
Use standard competency descriptors as the only
assessment yardsticks – one common ruler.
Use rubrics to quantitatively mark the assessment,
and minimize individual subjectivity – more
objective.
Ask PI Interviewer to base assessment on the
evidence demonstrated by PI Candidates –
evidence based.
August 2016 Route to MIEM / PE 88
Malaysia
Key Enhancements (2)
2) Revise Application Form to provide evidence
required by the Competency Model and make it
equally friendly to all professional engineering
practices.
Current Application Form is tailored more towards
engineering consultancy practices; other engineering
practices often find it difficult to use.
Ask PI Applicant to give sufficient evidence of
various competencies required.
Require only one Application Form instead of two
current PI Forms.
Malaysia
Key Enhancement (3)
3) Prescribe a suitable format for the Training &
Experience Report with the view to providing
evidence for specific Competency Categories.
Current Training & Experience Report often gives
little information about Applicant’s competencies.
Ask PI Applicant to understand the competencies
required for MIEM.
Mandate PI Applicant to focus on providing the
evidence for the required competencies.
