It also has strict rules governing its members’ conduct and is dedicated to raising the ethical standard of professional engineers in Hong Kong. As a learned society, the 19 Divisions under the Institution regularly organise activities to keep members abreast of the latest engineering developments and also provide opportunities for Continuing Professional Development.

The HKIE prides ourselves on being a proactive social citizen by not only nominating members to serve on various external boards and committees of government departments and higher education institutions, but also providing timely and constructive comments and professional advice on the government’s consultation papers.

Functions
Since our establishment, the Association has served an important connection among the public, the Government and safety practitioners. It also serves as a platform for collecting and disseminating occupational safety and health information. Since 1984, the Association began to publish the monthly Safety Bulletin which serves as one of the exchanges of occupational safety and health information. The Safety Bulletin is currently published every two months and 1900 copies are distributed to various universities, Chamber of Commerce, Government Departments and members of the Association free of charge.

The Association is also one of the consulting organisations to provide advice to the Government on occupational safety and health legislation. Our Executive members are representatives in the local Government and legal consulting bodies, such as Labour Department, Occupational Safety and Health Council and Construction Industry Council.

The University of Hong Kong, Department of Civil Engineering

Since the establishment of The University of Hong Kong and the Faculty of Engineering in 1912, the Department of Civil Engineering has nurtured many brilliant leaders in the civil engineering discipline and made significant contributions to the local and overseas community. The Department is constantly looking ahead to enhancing its goals in education, research and community services in order to keep abreast of the ever-changing demands of modern society.

The Department has switched to a new and innovative 4-year undergraduate curriculum in 2012. Our new curriculum equips students with knowledge beyond traditional civil engineering. For instance, greater emphasis is placed on experiential learning in the form of project-based design, where students participate in engineering projects relevant to their fields of study. Also, options, such as double degree and major/minor, are available. Furthermore, we have introduced new ‘specialisations’ for students which allow them to focus on certain areas for more in-depth studies.

The Department always attracts top students and has a good reputation in both academia and industry. With Hong Kong government’s continual investment in mega-infrastructure projects, there is a great demand for civil engineers. Moreover, construction booms in Mainland China, the Middle East and beyond provide new opportunities for young and enthusiastic civil engineers. The Department of Civil Engineering will continue to devote itself to teaching and research for the betterment of society.
