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 .
