Comparison between R.A. 5734 and R.A. 9292
The amendment of the previous RA 5734 "The Electronics and
Communications Engineering Act of the Philippines" is the Republic Act
9292 "Electronics Engineering Law of [Link] date approval of RA 5734
is June 21, 1969 while the RA 9292 is April 17, 2004. In the Republict Act
9292 were few major changes if we compare it in the RA 5734 such as
the classification of licensed to Electronics Engineers and the new board
exam. With the new law, most ECE under RA 5734 in order for them to
practice their profession they need to do conversion of their license.
One of the changes in the new law is that Electronics and
Communications Engineering would now be called Electronic
Engineering, they remove the Communications but it would still be part
of the ECE curriculum. And you cannot affix the ECE title on your name if
you did not pass in the licensure exam therefore you need to pass the
licensure exam so that you can affix the ECE title on your name.
The highlights of the R.A 9292 was the way of choosing the board
members, the taking of the license examinations, the specifications of
fields of the ECE and the transition of the name Electronics
Communication Engineer into Electronics Engineering
