What Myanmar Engineering Society does

The Federation of Myanmar Engineering Societies (Fed.MES), originally founded as the Myanmar Engineering Society on December 23, 1995 and renamed at the January 19, 2019 AGM, is a non-profit professional engineering organization headquartered at the Hlaing Universities' Campus in Yangon, Myanmar. The society serves Myanmar's engineering and architecture community through a federation structure comprising 7 partner organizations, 27 regional chapters across all states and regions, and 64 Technical Divisions and Multidisciplinary Committees, with 67,732 individual members and 359 corporate members as of December 31, 2024. Its primary functions are professional certification, continuing professional development, technical standards-setting, and international representation of Myanmar engineers. Core offerings include the Myanmar National Building Code 2025 (co-published with the Ministry of Construction in English and Myanmar versions), the ASEAN Engineering Register certification framework (across four tiers: ASEAN Engineer, Associate ASEAN Engineer, ASEAN Engineering Technologist, ASEAN Technician), MES Academy training programs (AWE, Tower Crane Operator, EMP, Engineering Economics), a webinar archive, and recurring conferences and exhibitions such as the Process and Products Show.

Fed.MES is governed by an elected Central Committee currently led by President Khin Maung Htaey, with a 2026–2027 term committee elected at the recent AGM, and operates with a small core staff of 14 employees. Revenue is generated through recurring individual and corporate membership fees, paid training courses, certification registrations, and event-related income; no public pricing exists and no revenue figure is disclosed. The society is Myanmar's country member of the ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organizations (AFEO) since 2000, an Associate Member of FEIAP, an Affiliate Member of WFEO since 2020, a Council Member of ACECC since 2019, and a member of AAET, and it works alongside the Myanmar Engineering Council (M.Eng.C) and the Ministry of Construction on regulatory and standards work including the MEngC Law and the MNBC 2025. Internationally, Fed.MES also coordinates programs with JICA, JSCE, UNDP, UNESCO, UN-HABITAT, and UNIDO.

Scale indicators12 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Engineering Council of India (ECI): Indian statutory body for professional engineering registration. Comparable to Fed.MES in its role within the MEngC-style regulatory framework, focused on credentialing rather than full society services.

Broad incumbents

• Engineers Australia (EA): Australia's national engineering body and an AFEO dialogue partner. Comparable as a chartered society that issues professional registration, accredits programs, and represents engineers in policy — but with much larger scale and resources.
• National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE): US-based professional society for licensed engineers. Comparable in advocacy, ethics, and continuing education for engineers, but operates in a much more developed regulatory and market context than Myanmar.
• Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE): Long-established UK chartered professional body for civil engineers. Comparable in its role awarding professional registration, publishing standards, and operating a global membership model — though far larger and with global rather than national scope.

Direct peers

• Institution of Engineers, India (IEI): India's oldest and largest professional engineering body, with a similar developing-economy context. Comparable in offering Chartered Engineer registration, national membership, and state-level chapters, though operating at significantly greater scale.
• Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE): Japan's premier civil engineering society and an active partner of Fed.MES via the JSCE STG Program. Closely comparable in its federation role, international cooperation focus, and standards-setting engagement with government.
• Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES): Singapore's national engineering society and a fellow AFEO Country Member. Highly comparable as a professional society that administers engineering registration, continuing professional development, and national standards work for a city-state engineering community.

Regional players

• Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE): Philippine national civil engineering society and AFEO Country Member. Closely comparable in scope, ASEAN regional context, and chapter-based membership model, though focused on civil engineering rather than multi-disciplinary engineering.
• Engineering Institute of Thailand (EIT): Thai national engineering body and AFEO member. Comparable as a professional society for engineers in a neighboring ASEAN economy with similar developmental and regulatory dynamics to Myanmar.

Others

• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS): Global professional body for built environment professionals. Adjacent peer — comparable in its standards-setting, credentialing, and international federation role, though focused on surveying and real estate rather than engineering.
