(香港，八月二十七日) 香港工程師學會 (下稱「學會」)會長陳志超工程師於今天舉行的傳媒午餐聚會上介紹學會本年度的方向。
陳會長致歡迎辭時強調︰「2015年是學會重要的一年，它標誌著學會由1975年成立至今四十周年。學會經歷社會過去四十年的變化及日益增多的挑戰，擴展至現今超過三萬二千名會員，在社會發展上擔當著重要的角色。這歸功於我們各個前任會長的領導，為學會奠下了穩固的基礎以迎接未來。」
陳會長表示本年度將舉辦一系列的慶祝活動，包括於四十周年慶祝酒會，並將於酒會上向多位香港工程界翹楚致意，表揚他們的傑出成就。學會亦會推出四十周年紀念相册，展出香港的工程項目以彰顯工程界和學會對社會發展的貢獻。另外，於明年一月舉辦的「香港工程師學會四十周年運動會暨家庭同樂日」讓會員享受家庭樂之餘亦可以在輕鬆的氣氛下互相交流。今年亦是學會成為「華盛頓協議」成員的二十周年，「華盛頓協議」是為工程教育本科學術評審的國際互認協議，其宗旨是通過多邊認可工程教育資格，促進工程學位互認和專業工程師的國際流動。為此學會將會舉辦學術評審研討會以探討學術評審的發展。另將設繪畫比賽及微電影比賽以培養新一代對工程的興趣。
此外，陳會長今年亦繼續推行「師傳薈」計劃，以培育年輕工程師在工程專業的發展。他們將會跟隨陳會長參與不同的活動及會議，汲取工作以外及公共事務方面的經驗。陳會長強調︰「我希望藉著這些活動培育一群充滿熱誠的年輕工程師，並引發他們的潛能及興趣以回饋工程界及社會。」
陳會長表示為紀念學會成立至今四十周年，推出了四十周年紀念標誌，寓意會員懷著熱誠攜手服務社會以達至美好將來。陳會長寄語他將與會員共同努力，為學會，為工程業界，以至為整體社會謀求發展與福祉，共創更美好的明天。

(27 August 2015, Hong Kong) President Ir Chan Chi-chiu is pleased to announce the new initiatives of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) in enhancing the visibility of the engineering profession at the media luncheon today.
Ir Chan emphasised in the welcoming remarks, “‘Celebrating 40 Years of Success, Your Dreams Our Goals’ will be the theme for the Institution for the year ahead. 2015 is a special year for the Institution as it marks the 40th anniversary of HKIE’s establishment by ordinance in 1975. Under the context of constant change and increasing challenges, the HKIE has grown into a professional institution with a membership of over 32,000. Thanks to the strong foundation laid by our leaders over the years, the HKIE is well-prepared to build an even brighter future.”
Ir Chan remarked the Institution will launch a series of events to celebrate its 40th anniversary, including the 40th Anniversary Cocktail Reception where outstanding members will be inducted into the HKIE Hall of Fame 2015 to recognise their contribution to the community. A 40th Anniversary Album on the engineering projects will also be published to highlight the contributions of the engineering profession and the Institution to Hong Kong’s development over the past 40 years. To foster a spirit of solidarity in the engineering family, the HKIE 40th Anniversary Sports and Family Fun Day will be organised in January 2016 for members and their families. As this year also marks the 20th anniversary of the HKIE’s admission to the Washington Accord, an international agreement among bodies responsible for accrediting engineering degree programmes which recognises the substantial equivalency of their accredited programmes and facilitates the mobility of professional engineers, the one-day Symposium on Accreditation of Engineering Programmes will be held to discuss the past and future accreditation development. In addition, drawing competition and micro film competition will be organised to arouse the interest of young generation in the engineering profession.
This year, the HKIE President’s Protégé Scheme (PPS) is continued as part of the HKIE’s commitment to nourish young engineers. These young engineers will shadow the President to attend significant events to gain experiences. Ir Chan highlighted, “Through all these activities, the Institution can nurture these enthusiastic young engineers and in return, they will contribute for the benefit and advancement of the society.”
Ir Chan indicated that to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Institution, an anniversary logo is introduced to signify members’ continuous commitment and services to the community. In his presidential year, Ir Chan will join hands with the fellow members and the media to build a better future for the industry.
