作者簡介
The Engineering Society of Hong Kong
The Engineering Society of Hong Kong, was founded in 1947 with the aim to bring together engineers of different Disciplines for their common good. The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (the HKIE) was incorporated under the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers Ordinance, Chapter 1105 of the Laws of Hong Kong in 1975. The HKIE is the only statutory professional engineering body in Hong Kong. As at May 2014, the Institution has over 31,000 members of whom over 14,000 are in the grade of Corporate Member.
The Institution sets standards for the training and admission of engineers of 21 engineering Disciplines. It also has strict rules governing the conduct of its members and is dedicated to raising the ethical standards of professional engineers in Hong Kong. The 19 Divisions under the Institution regularly organise activities to keep members abreast of the latest developments in engineering and also provide opportunities for continuing professional development.
The HKIE not only nominates its members to serve on various external boards and committees of government departments and higher education institutions, but also provides comments and professional advice on the government’s consultation papers and engineering-related bills in committee meetings of the Legislative Council. In addition, the profession has one seat representing the Engineering Functional Constituency in the Legislative Council through which views of the profession can be expressed to the Government.
The HKIE has signed agreements for reciprocal recognition of professional qualifications and agreements of co-operation with engineering institutions worldwide and is a member of many international engineering institutions.
