(香港，2023年7月14日) 香港工程師學會（「學會」）的九龍區全新會址於今天正式開幕，供會員預約使用。
全新會址命名為「工程薈EngHub」，是早前由會員投票選出的中英文名稱，位於觀塘全新落成的甲級商業大廈。工程薈名牌的設計理念為「天圓地方」，象徵著萬物循環、宇宙永恆，也代表著工程師的專業精神與追求卓越的態度。
工程薈的設計不僅展現出專業與創新，更彰顯工程師對城市建設與社會進步的貢獻與追求。室內設計以學會主色橙色及酒紅色為主調，充滿現代感和活力，配合大廈玻璃幕牆的設計，呈現出開放、透明的建築風格，引入充足的天然光線之餘，同時讓會員能夠飽覽香港獨特的城市景觀。工程薈配置多種可以靈活調動的辦公室家具，設有音響及投影等設備，方便會員進行不同類型的活動，例如講座、會議、工作坊、分享會等，充滿創意與專業感。
會長李志康博士、工程師表示：「學會早於1985年遷至現時位於銅鑼灣的會址，多年來會員人數大幅增長，會址已經不敷應用。學會為了提升對會員的服務，決定於觀塘增設新會址，方便於不同區域工作的會員享用設施，提升會員之間的凝聚力。」
學會將一如既往，繼續提升對會員的服務，並致力為會員爭取更多福利和專業發展機會，對香港城市建設及社會發展作出貢獻。

(香港，2023年5月31日) 香港工程師學會（「學會」）留意近日一住宅單位裝修時，單位內的部份結構牆被拆除，涉及可能影響樓宇結構的建築工程。因應事件發展及所引發的外界疑慮，學會召開記者會，解構相關結構改動可能引發的風險、潛在還原方案、一般可獲豁免的小型工程、常見的住宅裝修誤區及注意事項等。
香港的住宅單位面積普遍較細小，不少業主會選擇在家居裝修時重新設計間隔或傢具，提高實用性和舒適度。部份近年常見的室內裝修工程，包括開放式設計、加建閣樓、廚廁對調等，這些均有機會牽涉結構改動，然而，一般業主並不容易分辨相關改動是否需要向屋宇署入則，因此，學會鼓勵及呼籲業主要諮詢及委聘合資格人士檢視相關改動，確保結構及樓宇安全，亦避免誤墮法網。
會長卜國明工程師表示：「今次事件，正正反映相關業主沒有諮詢合適的專業工程師意見所引致的後果。學會鼓勵如果業主懷疑自己單位曾作出結構改動，應盡快考慮聘請合資格專業人士檢查，確保單位沒有違規建築。」
學會希望再次呼籲業主、室內設計師及承建商審慎處理任何結構改動，而所有結構改動必須諮詢結構工程師，屋宇署網頁載有註冊結構工程師名冊供參考，市民亦可向屋宇署查詢可獲豁免小型工程的涵蓋範圍。
學會期望業界從業員緊守崗位，盡責地利用個人專業，合力確保市民安居樂業。學會將一如既往，繼續為社會提供專業、客觀、科學的意見。
