To meet the needs of the development of the industry, the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) has established the Aircraft Discipline with the mission of defining the education, training and experience requirements of professional aircraft engineers and technologists. The Discipline also works closely with the industry as a whole to encourage the younger generation to pursue aircraft engineering as a career. All these initiatives aim at enhancing Hong Kong's function as a global service centre for the aerospace engineering industry and at reinforcing its position as the Asia Pacific region's premier aviation hub. As one of the busiest aviation hubs in the world, Hong Kong International Airport achieved a new record of 333,760 aircraft movements in 2011. The aviation industry also plays a crucial role in the economic development of Hong Kong. According to the Census and Statistics Department, the aviation industry's direct and indirect contributions to the local economy amounted to HK$116.3 billion in 2009, accounting for 7.5% of the GDP. With the development of the West Apron and the proposed third airport runway, Hong Kong air traffic is expected to grow at a faster pace. Ir Chan Fuk-cheung, President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, said, "The provision of adequate aircraft engineering professionals is critical to support the healthy development and growth of the aviation industry. In view of the particular domain of knowledge and skills required for aircraft engineering, the HKIE has set up the Aircraft Discipline with the objective of training and qualifying professional aircraft engineers and technologists in Hong Kong. The Aircraft Engineering Discipline Advisory Panel also defines the profession's education, training and experience requirements and conducts assessments for admission to membership. In addition to nurturing and developing aircraft engineers, the Discipline also aims at raising their standing and visibility in the community. With membership in the Discipline growing to 331, the HKIE will establish the Aircraft Division later this year to provide professional and academic activities for members." The HKIE has also launched the Aircraft Engineer Development Scheme (AEDS) to offer systematic training for young people who are eager to develop their career in the aircraft engineering profession. The Scheme consists of course work, field trips, on-the-job training, mentorship, and on-line portal support. It provides a fast track for university graduates to achieve the HKAR-66 Category B Aircraft Maintenance Licence granted by the Civil Aviation Department. To give the media a better understanding of the work of aircraft engineering technologists, the HKIE today organised a media visit to Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited (HAESL) at Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate. HAESL is the only facility in Hong Kong that is purpose built for the repair and maintenance of civil aircraft engines and employs more than 1,050 staff. The company completed the overhaul of 198 aero engines in 2011. Like the heart of an aero plane, the repair of an aero engine requires specific equipment and technical know-how. For that reason, technical training of technologists is HAESL's top priority. To cope with the company's expansion, HASEL plans to recruit around 180 technical staff, including Engineering Graduate Training Programme trainees and Aero Engine Repair Trainees. The positions provide an excellent career path for young people to develop their capabilities in the aircraft engineering industry. The Engineering Graduate Training Programme aims to develop a pool of professional engineers through a four-year, structured training curriculum. This comprises two years of cross-functional training within the business in line with the requirements of the HKIE Scheme A Training, followed by a two-year placement in one of the core operational units. During the training period, trainees will undertake secondments with airlines and aero engine manufacturers to broaden their understanding of the aviation industry and to give them early exposure to some of the company's major business partners. Open to form five students, the position of Aero Engine Repair Trainee is responsible for the repair of components and parts of an aero engine. Newly recruited trainees have to undergo basic training lasting a total of 160 hours. Those with a strong work ethic and a positive attitude will also have the opportunity of becoming an aircraft engineer through professional training and continuous learning. The next 20 years will see significant growth in commercial air transport in the Asia Pacific region. The International Air Transport Association has forecast that the passenger throughput of Hong Kong International Airport will grow at a compound annual rate of 3.2% between 2008 and 2030. There are ample opportunities for young people who aspire to develop their career in the field of aircraft engineering. Currently on, the HKIE's "Technology for Quality Living" Programme special exhibition has been organised to raise awareness among the younger generation on the importance of the engineering profession. The exhibition featuring "Clothing, Food, Housing and Transportation" demonstrates a series of engineering projects closely related to our daily life. For example, the "Clothing" section showcases a solar backpack that makes use of renewable energy to charge electronic devices while the "Food" section explains the source of our drinking water and the water supply system in Hong Kong. Visitors can also experience the smart home at the "Housing" section, where tablet computers and a wireless network enables remote control of home appliances. With the development of the aircraft engineering discipline, the manufacturing process and features of the latest aircrafts are featured at the "Transportation" section. The exhibition illustrates how professional engineers are bringing quality living to the public by means of their technological and engineering excellence. Details of the special exhibition are as follows:
