(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: 
  • "Clothing" – get to know the fascinating engineering behind what we wear or put on, including the swimsuit that has helped a champion swimmer break a world record; GORE-TEX® Jacket; solar backpack and 3D devices
  • "Food" – learn more about the gas and electricity we use for cooking; how water is treated, stored and delivered to your tap and the engineering projects that are creating an energy-efficient and sustainable community
  • "Housing" – tour the show flat of an "Intelligent Home", where you can control all home appliances with a tablet. You will also find out how waste is turned into energy, showing the magic that happens when technology and engineering come together
  • "Transportation" – explore the complex engineering and advanced technology in infrastructure, vehicles and other conveyances, including the elevator, Airbus A380, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, electric vehicle and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

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.
