Engineering has been ever shaping the world. Semiconductors and RF, Computer and Communications, Internet and Mobile phone are changing our work and walk of life. While we are proud of being an engineer to invent, to innovate or to create new devices, new products or new systems, we would continue to contribute to the engineering community, the society, the country proactively and collaboratively, and we would continue to serve, cultivate, to share and to make comrade.

In these years, we all witness the growth of our Country and the increasing level of collaboration between Hong Kong and China. In the past, Hong Kong was coupled with China on those economy activities basing on give and take. Looking forward, the economic bond between Hong Kong and China would be increasingly interrelated and interdependent. Riding on the trend, we would organise more China activities to provide platforms and opportunities for members to participate, develop and benefit. Few visits to factories in South China and Divisional visit to SiChuan, China are planned for Session 2007/2008.

I am proud of our committee team members who are not only professionals, but also dedicated to engineering community. Besides, we have good professional culture established by the past chairmen. We would continue to organise up-to-date seminars, workshops, conferences, company visits etc and to collaborate with other Divisions, YMC, AMC to foster stronger links and network, and appeal to wider base of engineers. I would encourage everyone of us to introduce and invite our colleagues, working partners participating in our events. More cultivation among engineers, more benefit we gain and more members would join. Further, we would work with academic institutes, our sister institutions, Associations, HKSTP, Cyber Port etc, to reach out a wide spectrum of engineers joining HKIE and the Divisional activities.

We are elected to serve our members and we are looking forward to receiving any comments and feedback from you anytime. My email address is pftsui@cast.vtc.edu.hk
