During Session 2007/2008, other than the regular functions and activities in serving the Q & M Board and the Committees/Sub-committees on training, education and examinations, membership, qualification and professional assessments of the Institution, the Panel continued its effort to promote different routes for membership of the Discipline, including the new route for degree holders of applied science in nature who have qualified working experience in Information Technology (IT) and Information engineering areas. In this regard, presentations and Q&A sessions on the entry requirements for membership were given by the Chairman at occasions organised by the IT Division and the Hong Kong Science Park. The Panel also continued its effort in assisting eligible companies to become Scheme "A" companies so as to enable more formal training opportunities for fresh engineers to develop their careers in IT and Information engineering areas. It is the goal of the Panel to enable the HKIE to become the professional home for all qualified Information engineers and IT professionals in Hong Kong.
