(Hong Kong, 9 February 2012) The "Technology for Quality Living" Programme, co-organised by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) and the Hong Kong Science Museum, will take place from 18 February to 28 March 2012. Comprising a special exhibition, a lecture series and tours of selected engineering projects, the month-long Programme is aimed at demonstrating the vital roles engineering and technology play in economic development and in improving quality of life in Hong Kong. In addition, the HKIE hopes that "Technology for Quality Living" will engage and excite the interest of the younger generation in the engineering profession. Ir Dr Chan Fuk-cheung, President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, said, "Engineering is in every part of our daily lives. By combining technology, research and development as well as creative innovation, the engineering industry has enabled people to enjoy a high quality of life. The HKIE has long been committed to promoting the importance and purpose of the engineering profession. This year, we have organised the "Technology for Quality Living" Programme to help the public better understand how engineers apply technology to sustain and enhance our quality of life. We also hope the Programme will foster students' interest in the engineering profession and encourage our younger generation to choose engineering as their career." A key part of the "Technology for Quality Living" Programme is a special exhibition organised along the themes of "Clothing, Food, Housing and Transportation". Through a dynamic showcase of several groundbreaking engineering projects, the special exhibition illustrates how professional engineers bring convenience, comfort and a host of other benefits to our daily lives through technological and engineering excellence. Highlights of the four exhibition sections are:
In addition to the special exhibition, a series of lectures and tours on selected projects will also be offered for the public's enjoyment (Please refer to Appendix 1 for details). Topics of the lecture series include "Water: From Source to Drain", "Road Network Development", "Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in the Modern City" and "IT and Hazard Control". All lectures are presented by government officials with backgrounds in different engineering fields. Lecture participants can also apply to join engineering tours to visit the Sha Tin Water Treatment Works, Tsing Ma Control Area and Tsing Sha Control Area, MTR Kowloon Bay Depot as well as Po Shan Landslide Preventive Works - Groundwater Drainage System. These activities will enable visitors to attain a better understanding of the recent efforts by various industries to make our society a greener and more sustainable one.
