My IChemE Chartered Engineer Interview
Thursday, August 04, 2011
After the previous Professional Interview (PI) and writing examination conducted by Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) last April, I sat for another interview which is the Chartered Engineering interview by IChemE. The interview was carried out by 2 Fellow IChemE members yesterday morning in Dayabumi, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I was accompanied by my beloved wife to drive to Kuala Lumpur as early as 4.30 am.
The purpose of this interview is to assess my training and experience whether I am fit to be a member of IChemE and chartered engineer. Before this, under IChemE, I am an Associate Member (which I can use the AMIChemE designation after my name). If my interview yesterday is successful, I will be upgraded to Member and Chartered engineer. With that after my name, I can use the designation of MIChemE and CEng.
This is the meeting room where my chartered engineer interview was held (at level 5 Dayabumi building)The interview was scheduled at 9.30 am but it actually started at 9.50am. The interview was relatively tougher compared to my IEM previous interview (which took about 50 minutes). Among the points that the interviewers were seeking for are some proof of chemical engineering application that I practiced in my previous jobs. They also look for some elements on creativity, innovation, leadership and contribution to society. The interview hoovers around discussing the information that I had provided earlier in Form C - Competence and Commitment Report.
Myself before the interview. Luckily we arrived early in KL and the building. I can relaxed and stabilized myself before the interview. Do I look nervous? haha....The interview ended after about 2 hours. It was really a mental challenge to answer all the questions threw by the lead interview who is a very experienced lady chemical engineer. Nevertheless I'm glad that the interview went smooth and I believed I managed to answer all the questions. For now, I just hope to receive a favourable result. From the information that I have, the result is very fast which is about roughly 10 days.
After the interview, we immediately travel south back to Johor Bahru. Yes, we purposely drove to KL for my interview. It was very tiring but at the same time, I'm glad that I managed to complete both IEM and IChemE interviews this year.
What about you? If you are not yet a member of IChemE, you can begin now. Seek for more information on how and why to get chartered from IChemE website.

Engineering Ethics Videos Part 2
Monday, November 09, 2009
Hi there... How are you?
Last month I published Engineering Ethics 101 Videos. The intention is mainly to educate ourselves on the important of engineering ethics. Now I'm continuing the series of engineering ethics video part 4-6.
Part 4: Can You Keep a Secret? Confidentiality & Engineering
Synopsis of part 4: Engineers often find themselves in roles that require keeping of a confidence. In this video, Michael Loui describes different types of secrets and an engineers ethical and legal obligations to keep them.
FREE Recommended magazines to get you updated with current engineering news
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Synopsis of part 5: Making decisions ethically is an important part of being an engineer. In this video, Michael Loui addresses a variety of tests for considering whether a decision is ethical or not and applies them to everyday cases.
Part 6: Professional Ethics in Engineering, The Citicorp Center Case
Michael C. Loui presents the 6th video in the series Professional Ethics in Engineering with a classic example for us to have better comprehension on the real engineering ethics.

Chemical Engineer Genius Converts Pollution into Profits
Friday, December 21, 2007
How does he do it? He simply converts unwanted or waste into a valuable useful product. Have you ever imagine it before? Have you ever thought about the possibility? Check out how this chemical engineer academician cum scientist realized it. This post is adopted from progressiveengineer.com.
Strike up a conversation with Israel Wachs, and you'll find him enthusiastic and ready to talk about his latest project. You can't blame him. A chemical engineering professor at Lehigh University, Wachs has discovered a process that could help paper mills save millions of dollars a year by converting methanol, a pollutant, into formaldehyde, a useful product. Any chemical engineer would relish this.
But that doesn't explain all the giddiness. Wachs envisions taking his process a step further and applying it to other industries, and it has him speaking like an ecologist. He calls it an environmental solution that could change the business approach to making pulp from timber and help achieve sustainability. Continue reading...

Chemical/Process Engineering Personality: JoeWong
Saturday, September 22, 2007
Hi, I'm back after a very busy and tight schedule. I would like to introduce a new category which is Chemical/Process Engineering Personality. In this section, I will conduct an e-interview with real practicing and successful chemical/process engineer. I hope from this section we can learn, understand and share various fields associated to chemical/process engineering.
For the first personality in this section, he preferred to be known as JoeWong. I have known him a few months back from the virtual world and since then we've been online buddies. Besides a career as a process engineer for more than 13 years, he also maintains his blog Chemical and Process Technology. I found his blog very informative and I personally learned a lot from it. If you want to contact him, you're welcome to visit his site and leave a comment. He'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Chemical/Process Engineering Personality: JoeWong
1. Name: JoeWong
2. Degree/University: Chemical & Process Engineering
3. Professional membership: Member of IEM & AICHE, PE
6. Description(s) of current job: Conduct process design and engineering for new/revamp/ debottleneck plant.
8. What do you enjoy most about your job:
10. What subject(s) is/are related to your job:
11. What is your most challenging moment ever happened at work:13. What is your career plan in the future?
14. What are the required skills in your opinion for an engineer to sustain and become successful in his career?
16. Life philosophy or principal?
Instead of reading, why not share your writing of chemical engineering knowledge and experiences here, in Chemical Engineering World blog? It will be interesting. It doesn't matter if you are still a chemical engineering students or you just work as an engineer or you are a very experience engineer. Sharing your story would be great. I am also still learning and would like to learn something from you. Just email me to share something in this blog. You can share stories, articles, photos, infographics, podcast, videos etc.
