International accreditation

The Bachelor of Engineering courses offered at Sunway are also accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council of Malaysia (EAC), to comply with Malaysian expectations. The EAC consists of the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), the Institution of Engineers Malaysia, Lembaga Akreditasi Negara (LAN) and Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam Malaysia (JPA). Graduates of a Malaysian-accredited, or BEM internationally recognised engineering program, satisfy the minimum academic requirements for registration as a graduate engineer with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia.

The Institution of Chemical Engineers (UK) has accredited the following as equivalent to the MEng degree from a recognised UK university:

• Bachelor of Engineering in the field of chemical engineering
• Bachelor of Engineering in the field of chemical engineering/Bachelor of Arts
• Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Engineering in the field of chemical engineering
• Bachelor of Engineering in the field of chemical engineering/Bachelor of Laws
• Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering in the field of chemical engineering.

Vacation work/industrial experience

In order to fulfil the requirements of the various degree regulations and Engineers Australia, all undergraduate engineering students enrolled in four, five and six year single and double-degree programs must complete 12 weeks of approved engineering work experience and submit a report on that work. Such work is normally undertaken in the vacations between second and third years and/or between third and fourth years (but may also be taken between first and second years). Students who have completed all academic requirements for their degrees are not eligible to graduate until this work experience has been completed and a satisfactory report submitted.
