| Building Discipline Advisory Panel Report 2007/2008 |
Last year the membership of the Building Discipline grew about 6% to 325 and the Panel continued to encourage more senior members from building-related disciplines to join the Building Discipline. Noting that there are about 130 Associate Members in the Discipline, ranking the fourth highest number among the 18 Disciplines, and 42 trainees under Scheme "A" training programme, the Panel would revisit the training scheme and professional assessment and collaborate with the Building Division in organising appropriate technical talks and site visits for them.
With the mutual recognition examination successfully held in October 2006 for members of the Chartered Institute of Building (UK), the Panel has planned to hold the second examination for them by end of 2008.
At the 10th joint meeting between the Ministry of Construction (MOC) and the Development Bureau held on 18 January 2008 in Beijing, members of the HKIE Mutual Recognition Task Force successfully invited the delegates from the MOC and China Association of Engineering Consultants (中國建設監理協會) to visit the HKIE and study the site operations of building engineers in 2008 with a view to finalising the formal arrangements for the mutual recognition exercise of supervising engineers. Members who are interested to join this exercise are required to join the sub-list of the Building Discipline on Project Supervision as a pre-requisite to mutual recognition with the Registered Supervising Engineers on the Mainland.
