the two education agreements namely the Sydney Accord for engineering technologists and the Dublin Accord for technicians. This will be consistent with the Government’ s aspiration of developing competent and quality human capital that is necessary to propel the nation towards becoming a developed high income economy and making Malaysia a global hub for education. By being a signatory to the above Accords, our graduates will be internationally recognised and help attract foreign investments into our country.
It is my hope that this auspicious gathering will have fruitful deliberations in transforming our engineering educational standards, professional recognition and mobility which are vital as we push in driving excellence for global competitiveness.
Once again, I would like to thank the IEA for choosing Malaysia as the venue for IEAM 2016 and hope that you will all have an enjoyable experience and stay in Malaysia.
