In the reflection by the President at the end page of the BEM 50 th Anniversary Commemorative Book , he quoted “ Our vision is for a sustainable board that is ethical , resilient , competent and competitive at the global stage . The aspiration is to elevate propositions to all levels of the engineering fraternity holding paramount public interest ”.
The future demands smarter , more sustainable , resilient and innovative engineering solutions that are in line with the global emphasis on Environmental , Social and Governance ( ESG ) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development goals . BEM will continue to develop programmes to upskill the engineering fraternities to meet these challenges .
Engineering leadership finds strength in numbers . Currently , there are 1:160 engineers to the population of Malaysia . BEM ’ s target is for 1:100 ratio , just like in advanced countries .
As BEM celebrates its 50 th Anniversary , it sets its sight on the next lap , starting with the BEM Strategic Plan 2021-2025 in sync with global trend and challenges .
