This educational programme takes place from 18 February to 28 March 2012. Comprising a special exhibition, a lecture series and tours of selected engineering projects, the programme is aimed at demonstrating the vital roles engineering professionals play in improving our quality of life as well as the future development of the society. In addition, the HKIE hopes that "Technology for Quality Living" Programe will engage and raise the interest of the younger generation in the engineering profession. Mrs Carrie LAM, GBS, JP, Secretary for Development, Mrs Betty FUNG CHING Suk-yee, JP, Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, Ir Dr CHAN Fuk-cheung, President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, Ms Karen SIT Man, Chief Curator (Acting), Hong Kong Science Museum, Ir Duncan WONG Wai-on, Chairman, Task Force on "Technology for Quality Living" Programme host the opening ceremony together. To symbolise that engineering helps improve our quality of living and enhance the development of the society, the five officiating guests put the capsules representing "Clothing, Food, Housing and Transportation" and "Quality Living" on the "Tree of Engineering", activating the "Technology for Quality Living" Programme. Ir Dr Chan Fuk-cheung, President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, said, "Engineering is in every part of our daily lives. By collaborating the theme of the Institution this year, 'Applying Frontiers of Technology for Quality Living', we have organised the 'Technology for Quality Living' Programme to help the public better understand how engineers apply technology to sustain and enhance our quality of life. We also hope the programme will foster the younger generation's interest in the engineering profession and encourage them to choose engineering as a career." The month-long special exhibition featuring "Clothing, Food, Housing and Transportation" demonstrates a series of engineering projects closely related to our daily life for example, the "Clothing" section showcases the solar backpack that make use of renewable energy to charge the electronic devices; the "Food" section shows the source of drinking water and water supply system in Hong Kong; the "Housing" section demonstrates the smart home setting allowing us to remotely control the home appliances with the rapid developing tablet computer and wireless network; since the establishment of Aircraft Engineering discipline in the HKIE in 2009, the "Transportation" section introduces the manufacturing process and features of the latest aircrafts. The HKIE collects the information of engineering projects as well as the display items from Hong Kong and different parts of the world, so as to illustrate how professional engineers are bringing quality living to the public by means of their technological and engineering excellence. In addition to the special exhibition, a series of lectures and tours on related projects will be organised. The HKIE is honoured to have government officials with backgrounds in different engineering fields as the guest speakers, and introduce broad spectrum of technology and engineering to the public. Also, young engineers of the President's Protégé Scheme (PPS) will participate in the lectures. These engineering leaders of the future will present the theme of engineering projects to public in a drama format at the beginning of every lecture.
