由控制、自動化及儀器儀表分部舉辦的「透過鏡頭 放飛好奇; 科學 影像 點燃夢想」網上研討會於2021年12月28日成功舉行，吸引約 100位會員參加。

分部非常榮幸邀請到香港青少年科學院終身榮譽院長姜冬梅博士、 教授主講。科學影像是指科學探究紀錄短片，經剪輯完成「科學微電影」。青少年利用攝錄機觀察和記錄團隊的科學探究過程，製作成短片，將科學探究經歷和發現的結果，透過熒幕分享給更多的人，比傳統以文字發表的研究論文更能吸引青少年。

姜博士、教授與參加者分享了兩部獲獎的科學微電影，透過這兩部微電影，感受青少年對科學研究的熱情和動力，了解年輕人如何透過鏡頭，放飛好奇，以科學影像，成就夢想。

Ir Prof L Lock delivered a presentation at CityU

On behalf of the CA Division, Ir Prof Louis Lock, Chairman of CAI Discipline Advisory Panel, was cordially invited to deliver  presentation concerning The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers to the engineering undergraduates of City University of Hong Kong (CityU) at the university in the afternoon of 10 January 2022.

During the delivery, Ir Prof Lock introduced the importance of the Institution with respect to the engineering courses offered by CityU, and other local universities. The value of accreditation by the Institution were explained, with respect to the Washington Accord of the International Engineers Alliance. The students were also encouraged to treasure the accredited courses i.e., be industrious in their studies. Then, the vision, mission and core values of the Institution were addressed. Subsequently, the career path of a professional engineer in general was elaborated on. The common concern of ‘low’ salary upon graduation was also discussed. Once professional status was acquired, the renumeration appeared to be encouraging.

Ir Prof Lock deliberately put the emphasis on the benefits of being a member of a professional institution like The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. The role as a student member was explained. Some typical advantages like participating in learned society activities to keep up to date with contemporary and relevant know-how, broadening one’s horizons and being able to liaise with other professionals, academics and industrialists were illustrated. Afterwards, Ir Prof Lock addressed the rules of conduct of The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Most of the audience treasured the necessity of entertaining the related stakeholders including eers, employers, clients, customers, professionals and the public.

Around ten students expressed their eagerness to learn more about the Institution to enable them to become a professional earlier and thus contribute to the profession, industry, and society at large. The question-and-answer session was conducted and a few expressed the view that they would join the Student Chapter at CityU.
