HKIE
History & Heritage
The Engineering Society of Hong Kong was founded in 1947 with the aim of bringing together engineers of different Disciplines for their common good. The Society flourished and as a result the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (the HKIE), was incorporated under the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers Ordinance, Chapter 1105 of the Laws of Hong Kong in 1975. Adapting to the needs of engineers in Hong Kong, the Institution continues to develop and expand.
The Institution sets standards for the training and admission of engineers. It has strict rules governing the conduct of its members and, as a learned society, it enables its members to keep abreast of the latest developments in engineering. Many of the learned society activities take place at the Institution's Headquarters in Causeway Bay. It provides a venue for seminars, talks and meetings as well as the office of the Secretariat.
The HKIE has established close relationship with engineering institutions throughout the world and it has signed agreements for reciprocal recognition of professional qualifications with engineering authorities in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Mainland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It has also signed agreements of co-operation with other organisations in Europe, the Mainland, North America and Southeast Asia.
