(13 November 2012, Hong Kong) The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (the HKIE) is proud to present to you The Innovation Award for the Engineering Industry 2012/2013 (the Award) which is now accepting nominations. 

The HKIE is organising the Award to pay tribute to the engineering inventors who dedicate their professionalism to improving our living quality and to introduce to the general public various brilliant innovative ideas around us. As one of the most distinguished awards in the engineering profession, it will be included in the Engineering Week to be launched in April 2013. Innovation Awards in the categories of Construction, Industrial and Technology are to be presented to winners selected by the Panel of Judges comprising leading figures in the local engineering industry. Details of the Award are available at the website at http://www.hkie.org.hk/EngineeringWeek/AwardForEngineeringIndustry/.

Ir Prof CHOY Kin Kuen, President of the HKIE and Chairman of the Panel of Judges said, "I am always proud of the contributions in innovation of my fellow engineers. Without Ir Prof Sir Charles KAO Kuen, the best-known engineer from Hong Kong and his work on fibre optics, we would not be able to enjoy all the benefits of today's virtual world, which includes e-commerce, video conferencing and cloud computing. In modern metropolitans like Hong Kong, we are surrounded by examples of all kinds of innovation. Spans in building structures have increased, thanks to the innovative use of pre-stressing and prefabrication. Advanced structural analysis and the use of light-weight materials allow us to have spacious and aesthetic sports halls. The use of high-performance concrete has made it possible to build super-high-rises that are both strong and spacious, and new commercial buildings now feature curtain walls that have a low-e coating, which means they absorb much less heat than previous generations of curtain walls. There are also numerous outstanding innovations in other disciplines by local engineers like the "Octopus card"; "electrical car"; "green pilling system"; "underground flood alleviation scheme" and the "modular construction", just to name a few."

The Award is supported by Construction Industry Council; Development Bureau; Hong Kong Construction Association Ltd; Hong Kong Electrical Contractors’ Association Ltd; Hong Kong General Building Contractors Association Ltd; Hong Kong Green Building Council; Professional Green Building Council; The Association of Consulting Engineers of Hong Kong and The Hong Kong Federation of Electrical & Mechanical Contractors Ltd.

(16 March 2012, Hong Kong) Three engineering awards, organised by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, have been presented at the 37th Annual Dinner of the Institution which was successfully held on 13 March 2012. “The President’s Award 2012” was conferred on Ir Chu Yim-kwong, the “Young Engineer of the Year Award 2012” was presented to Ir Leo H Y Chan, and the “HKIE Innovation Awards for Young Members 2012” went to Ir Simon S C Tang of Category II.

The President's Award 2012

In recognition of the dedicated and valuable service of the member of any class who has served the Institution with distinctive achievements, the President’s Award has been set up by the Institution. This year, Ir Chu Yim-kwong receives the honour of the President’s Award.

Ir Chu Yim-kwong obtained a Higher Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Hong Kong Polytechnic in 1981 and a BSc (Eng) (first class honour) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong in 1983. He was also conferred a Master Degree in Public Administration by the University of Hong Kong in 2000.

Following completion of Scheme “A” training at the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department in 1985, Ir Chu was seconded to the Architectural Services Department to start his professional career as an Assistant Building Services Engineer. He is currently a Senior Building Services Engineer in the same department.

Ir Chu has in-depth experience in both electrical and building services engineering gleaned from the design and management of a diverse range of building projects and the provision of professional technical advice to government subvented projects.

Ir Chu is also proficient in quantity surveying for building services. He was the government representative in the Building Services (BS) Working Group of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) to provide professional advice on BS parts of the 4th Edition of Hong Kong Standard Method of Measurement (HKSMM4) of Building Works, which was successfully launched in 2006.

Ir Chu is strongly committed to institutional activities. In 1986, he served as the Assistant Honorary Secretary of the HKIE Electrical Division, where he later became a Committee Member. In more than 20 years of service to the Division, Ir Chu has been pivotal in the organisation of many technical talks, symposiums, international conferences, school project competitions and Mainland and overseas technical visits. He was the Honorary Secretary of the annual symposiums as well as the Division’s Honorary Treasurer. He shared his insight in a paper he co-authored, entitled “Road Map for Success in Organising Conference and Symposium”, which was submitted to the International Conference of Electrical Engineering in 2003.

Ir Chu was a key member of the editorial team for "EE筆寫", a book in Chinese written to arouse the public’s interest in electrical engineering. It was the first of its kind to be published by the Electrical Division.

Besides learned society functions, Ir Chu is also a member of the Electrical Discipline Advisory Panel, of which he had been the Honorary Secretary for years. In addition, Ir Chu was a member of the Training Review Sub-committee – Group II and a member of the team that accredits Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education courses.

Young Engineer of the Year Award 2012

In line with the overwhelming response of the Young Engineer of the Year Award in previous years, the HKIE is pleased to organise the Young Engineer of the Year Award 2012. It was glad that all candidates have had significant contributions and outstanding achievements to the profession, to the community of Hong Kong and to the HKIE. The selection process has been competitive, hence the decision on the selection has never been easy for the Panel of Judges. This year, the Award goes to Ir Leo H Y Chan.

Ir Leo Chan has a BASc in Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia and an MBA from the University of Bradford. He is now pursuing a Master Degree in Public Administration from the University of Hong Kong.

Although an information engineer by training, this diverse mix of educational background in engineering, commerce and social sciences has allowed Ir Chan to think strategically when handling technical, financial and political issues as part of his engineering management duties at the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD). Ir Chan has also utilised his knowledge of information engineering at work, one example being his introduction of a centralised client database system, which won the EMSD Best Improvement Project Competition 2011.

Ir Chan is committed to serving the HKIE and the community. He was the Chairman of the HKIE Young Members Committee (2009/2010) and is now serving as the Honorary Treasurer of the HKIE Information Technology Division. As a Grand Leadership Award winner for three consecutive years under the HKIE Volunteers Service Accreditation Programme, Ir Chan has organised many learned society functions to foster connection with both local and overseas young professionals. Countries like Brazil, Canada, Japan, Singapore and the UK as well as Mainland cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Chengdu, Wuhan and Zhengzhou are just some of the destinations he has visited on behalf of the Institution in the last five years. 

Ir Chan is a volunteer of the Development Bureau’s Sichuan Reconstruction Team, Honorary Secretary of the Hong Kong Association of Energy Engineers and Council Member of the EMSD’s Association of Professional Engineers. He is also a mentor for the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong and an organising committee member of the Vocational Training Council Construction Discovery Challenge Programme.

The HKIE Innovation Awards for Young Members 2012

With an aim to encourage our young members to develop their creativity through innovative application of engineering knowledge, and to inspire upon them to develop their intellectual and career interests in engineering, the Institution is pleased to launch the HKIE Innovation Awards for Young Members at 2008, a new initiative with the generous support of the family of the late Ir Kenneth Au-yeung. The entry can focus on any areas of engineering disciplines within the context of the HKIE. There are two main categories, namely Category I - An Invention and Category II – An Innovative Application of Engineering Theories. The innovativeness of the Design will be assessed based on its originality and creativity. This year, the Grand Prize of Category II goes to Ir Simon S C Tang.

Category II – An Innovative Application of Engineering Theories

Innovative Application of Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) Technology in Train Dynamic Performance Monitoring by Ir Simon S C Tang

Conventional monitoring of train dynamic performance using electric sensors suffers from complicated and costly instrumentation and is also labour-intensive. The conventional method is consequently not a user-friendly solution for continuous train dynamic performance monitoring. Although enormous effort has been put into researching an alternative, there has been no breakthrough until the development of this fibre bragg grating (FBG) system.

The track-based FBG system enables fully automatic and continuous monitoring of train ride comfort and wheel load balance in a cost-effective manner that cannot be achieved with the conventional method. This FBG system is now installed on the MTR network and has effectively facilitated continuous monitoring of train performance and the scheduling of maintenance works. By saving cost and improving service quality, the system has brought benefits to the rail operator as well as the public. 

Ir Simon Tang received his BEng (first class honour) in Electrical Energy Systems Engineering and MSc (distinction) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from the University of Hong Kong. He has worked in rolling stock design, project and maintenance since his graduation in 1999 and is currently the Depot Engineer for the Rolling Stock Maintenance Department of MTR Corporation.

This year, Certificate of Merit of Category I was presented to Ir Paul W F Li, and Certificates of Merit of Category II were presented to Ir Ken H Y Lui, Ir Sum Kin-fat, Mr Ma Chi-wai and Mr Sham Chi-ming.
