「卓越工程建構優質生活」活動正式揭幕 雲集工程專業精英 解構工程項目科技應用 The Official Launch of "Technology for Quality Living" Programme
(香港,二零一二年二月十八日) 香港工程師學會 (下稱「學會」) 與香港科學館今天宣布「卓越工程建構優質生活」活動正式啟動。這項由2012年2月18日至3月28日舉行的教育性活動,豐富內容包括有特備展覽、講座系列及工程項目實地考察等,讓市民深入淺出地認識工程專業如何提升人類生活質素,對社會未來發展起關鍵作用,藉此提升年青一代對工程專業的興趣。 發展局局長林鄭月娥,GBS,JP,康樂及文化事務署署長馮程淑儀,JP,香港工程師學會會長陳福祥博士、工程師,香港科學館署理總館長薛雯女士及「卓越工程建構優質生活」專責小組主席黃維安工程師攜手主持「卓越工程建構優質生活」活動揭幕儀式。五位主禮嘉賓將分別象徵「衣、食、住、行」和「優質生活」的巨型扭蛋置於「工程專業生命樹」上,象徵工程帶動發展同時優化生活,而「卓越工程建構優質生活」活動亦隨此正式啟動。 香港工程師學會會長陳福祥博士、工程師表示:「工程世界無處不在,與我們日常生活息息相關。配合學會今年年度的工作主題「應用先進科技,提升優質生活」,學會舉辦「卓越工程建構優質生活」的一系列多元化活動,希望讓大家認識到工程專業如何提升我們的生活質素。並且加深年青一代對工程師工作的認識,希望將來有更多年青人投身工程專業行列。」 為期超過一個月的特備展覽特別以「衣、食、住、行」為主題,透過生動有趣的形式,展示一系列圍繞我們日常生活的工程項目,例如「衣」有利用可再生能源替電子產品充電的太陽能背包;「食」會解構香港的食水來源以至供應系統;「住」展出利用近年盛行的流動裝置和無線網絡遙距操控家居電器的智能家居示範單位;而隨著學會於2009年成立航空專業界別,「行」的展區更特別介紹最新型的航機的製造過程和特點。學會搜羅香港以至來自世界各地的工程項目資料和展品,以生活化的內容向公眾介紹專業工程師如何運用卓越科技及工程知識,建構優質生活。 今次活動的另一特色是專題講座與半日遊互相配合。學會很榮幸邀請到多位來自不同工程專業界別的政府官員擔任嘉賓講者,為大家講解不同範疇的科技工程。而每個講座都有學會「師傳薈」計劃的年青工程師參與其中。這群未來工程精英又會以話劇形式,在每場講座開始前,向出席市民帶出所介紹工程項目的主題。 「卓越工程建構優質生活」特備展覽詳情如下:

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.
