WHAT IS ASSESSED IN PI?

Malaysia
The professional interview will

assess Competence.
What is Competence?
➢ The ability to carry out a task to an effective standard, of which
the achievement requires the necessary level of knowledge,
understanding and skill, as well as a professional attitude. It is
part of the requirement that must be demontrated in order for
an Applicant to be admitted as Corporate Member of IEM. The
formation process of professional competence generally involves
a combination of forma education and practical training and
experience. 46
Malaysia
Outcome Based PI
The Outcome Based PI 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.

47
Malaysia
More Balanced Assessment
Instead of focusing mainly on technical aspects, this
method has a more holistic approach in assessing
competence:
▪ Underpinning knowledge & understanding of a
branch or sub-branch of engineering.
▪ Skills in design and development of solution to
engineering problem.
▪ People Skills - management, leadership as well as
communication and interpersonal skills.
▪ Attitude / Professional Commitment
Route to MIEM / PE 48
Malaysia
Clarifying Concerns
✓ Each Candidate has unique work experience because
of the nature of job.
✓ Most Candidates are able to develop an acceptable or
satisfactory level of attainment in the majority of
Competency Elements.
✓ Nature of work sometimes makes Candidates lacking
in a few Competency Elements; but they can still pass
PI if they are good in most of the other Elements.
Malaysia
KEY TERMS
Competency Category - A group of Competency Elements
that are classified under a broad area of professional
competency required for the assessment in Professional
interview.
Competency Element - A component of Competency

Category that describes a specific area of professional
competency against which the PI Candidate is assessed
for his level of attainment based on the evidence
demonstrated against a specific set of standard criteria.
50
Malaysia
Key Assessment Features
This assessment method is both competence-based and
evidence-based with the following features:
✓Measure the knowledge, understanding, skills and
professional attitude necessary for the PI Candidates to
perform effectively – competence.
✓Use rubrics to differentiate competence level – clear
assessment criteria.
✓Use standard competency descriptors as the yardsticks to
minimize individual subjectivity – more objective.
✓Award competence level based on the evidence
demonstrated by PI Candidates – evidence based.
