Introduction

In 2003 at Bali, Indonesia, the Bali Concord II came out from the resolutions of the

ASEAN summit. In 2005 December 9, at the ASEAN Commercial Ministerial Meeting, the

Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA) was signed among all members countries. In this

MRA there was a mutual understanding between all countries for eight chapters where

engineering is included. During that time, Engineering Council was not yet formed in

Myanmar. So, the government of Myanmar had agreed to assign the Ministry of Construction

as a Focal Ministry and temporarily formed Professional Regulatory Authority (P.R.A.),

Monitoring Committee (M.C.) and Myanmar Board of Engineer (M.B.E.) started to award

Registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) certificates. ASEAN 10 countries also recognized

one another and issued ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (A.C.P.E) certificates.

Referring the international Engineering Council Laws from all over the world, the Myanmar

Engineering Council Law was prepared as a draft. The draft of the Engineering Council Law

was announced to the public for people's suggestion and feedback in the daily newspaper. In

2013 November 28, the President of the Union of Myanmar signed and declared the State

Parliamentary Law No. 37. According to the Myanmar Engineering Council Law, with

proclamation order no. 81/2013 of the Ministry of Construction, the first term of Myanmar

Engineering Council along with the constitution of eight working committees had formed by

the Union of Government on 11 December 2013. According to the codifications in the By-

law of Myanmar Engineering Council, the working committees have carried out the relevant

activities according to the relevant responsibilities. The first term of the Myanmar

Engineering Council has expired on 15 December 2017. The head office of Myanmar

Engineering Council under Ministry of Construction is currently situated at No.50A/46B of

Khayae Pin Road in Lanmadaw Township.

According to the one of the ultimate objectives of Myanmar Engineering Council, for the

development of the Engineering Education to achieve the quality of international standard,

the Engineering Education Accreditation Committee (EEAC) has accomplished the

accreditation on-site visits to total of four Technological Universities/Institutions in Yangon,

Mandalay, Thanlyin and Kyauk Sel throughout the year of 2017. The EEAC and the

technological universities discussed the further accreditation evaluation process and

verification of the engineering programs. The procedures and the details of the accreditation

programmes have been advised by the EEAC.

The Myanmar Engineering Council coordinated and conducted the National Standards

workshops such as “MEngC Notional Workshop on the Engineering Technologists and

Techniques" and “Workshop for Technological University Rectors and Professors -

"Dialogue Session on Engineering Curriculum Design" in 2017. The recognition of the

quality of engineering professions, the quality assurance and the improvement and

development of educational programmes in engineering had been discussed during the

Analysis

The status of the Myanmar Engineering Council is presented in 3 distinct parts as follows:

(A) Weakness of the Myanmar Engineering Council

The outstanding to make payment for the construction of new building is

USD 39, 324.30 and 174, 361, 524 kyats. The total value paid is 2, 343, 820, 661 kyats.

The total monthly expense and the total monthly earnings are not in balance, and the earning

is not enough for the monthly general expense. It is analysed as the Myanmar Engineering

Council is not able to plan the monthly expense budgets and earnings. The balance of the

total earnings and expense is minus (-) 258.44 billion in one year. Therefore, it is the loss

from the economic point of view. Since the construction of the new building has not been

completed yet, the expense for the construction will be increased.

(B) Challenges

In a rapidly changing world, with the technological advancement, the standard of

international engineering education is advanced. With an increasing need for human capital,

the education system of Myanmar is required to be overhauled. A major change in curriculum

is required to be able to satisfactorily achieve international standard and quality.

The lecturers must be sufficiently well qualified to deliver the degree-granting university

programs. The teaching techniques and the teaching materials are promptly essential to be the

international credibility and standards. The professional bodies and the relevant committees

must fulfill the necessary qualifications and standards to issue the registered engineer

certificates.

Page 13 of 35

The Rules and Procedures of PAG, EGC and the Evaluation are required to be implemented

referring the international standards of Rules and Procedures. The members of PAG and EGC

teams are essential to be qualified.

(C) Threats

The major threats to the Myanmar Engineering Council are attacks on critics through social

media. To answer the attacks, the Engineering Council Law should be revised and amended

to be up-to-date with the current updating engineering technology.
