Mandatory Continuing Professional Development Requirements for Corporate Members have been implemented since 1 January 2007.

A random checking of about 1% of all Corporate Members will be conducted on an annual basis. Members who are selected for checking will be asked to submit their evidence of CPD.The following actions shall be taken in case of noncompliance:

1. All Corporate Members who fail to comply with the CPD requirements will receive a warning letter and will be asked to submit their CPD attainment again for the following year unless (a) they have resigned or been removed from membership roll, or (b) changed their membership status to “retired”.
2. Corporate Members who fail to comply with the CPD requirements in the third consecutive year will have their names reported to the Learned Society Board.
3. Corporate Members who fail to comply with the CPD requirements in the fourth consecutive year will have their names reported to the Council with recommendations from CPD Committee.
4. Corporate Members who fail to comply with the CPD requirements in the fifth consecutive year will have their names reported to the Council with recommendations from CPD Committee. Recommendations for fifth year may include the consideration of removal of Member from the membership roll on the basis of improper conduct under Articles 13(4) and (5) of the Constitution.

For details, please refer to the “Guidance Notes for Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Corporate Members” which is available on the HKIE website at https://hkie.org.hk/professional-development/continuingprofessional-
development/download/.

Corporate Membership has satisfied the Commissioner for Labour in respect of section 6BA(4), Cap 59 since 1998 on the understanding that Corporate Members have undertaken a minimum unit in the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programmes, which include updates on occupational health and safety legislation. On the basis that Corporate Members will continuously update their knowledge in occupational safety and health through CPD, Corporate Members of the HKIE do not need to take mandatory basic safety training before entering construction sites.

Please note that the HKIE is required to provide such CPD records concerning the recognition of the Corporate Members’ training for the purpose of section 6BA, Cap 59 upon the request of the Labour Department.

All Corporate Members must make a declaration on having satisfied the CPD requirements relating to Health & Safety (H&S) before they would be issued a physical membership card for entering construction sites. Members who have been selected for CPD sample check must provide the relevant H&S CPD for verification. If a Member is found not meeting the requirement but have obtained a physical membership card, he/she will be asked to return the membership card immediately. If the member concerned does not return the card, the member would not be issued a physical membership card in the subsequent two years unless he/she has fulfilled all the prevailing CPD requirements. The CPD Committee would review if the Member had made a false declaration to obtain a physical membership card and refer the matter to the Institution as appropriate.

Members may refer to the online references of safety training for information:

• Occupational Safety & Health Council (https://www.oshc.org.hk/eng/main/training/)
• Construction Industry Council (https://www.cic.hk/eng/main/safety-corner/)
• HKIE Safety Specialist Committee (https://hkie.org.hk/ssc/)
• Hong Kong Housing Authority – Site Safety Forum (https://www.housingauthority.gov.hk/mini-site/site-safety/en/safety-promotion-events/site-safety-forums/index.html)

The online CPD logbook service is now in operation to provide solely for members of the HKIE to record their personal CPD activities. Members are invited to enter the Member Login area of our website to access to this online free-of-charge CPD logbook for keeping a systemic record of their CPD participation.

For trainees who are under the formal training schemes of the HKIE, they will remain to be required to record their CPD activities in the Record of CPD with endorsement by their Engineering Supervisors.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Member Login Service Support at mlssupport@hkie.org.hk.

This erratum is issued for the article titled “Future Smart and Sustainable Cities Forum with HKUST GREAT Smart Cities Institute”, published under the Institution & Divisions Section in the July 2026 issue of Hong Kong Engineer, Volume 54, Page 47 - 48.

The error occurred in paragraph 6, where the original text provided by the authors incorrectly stated, “[The first, chaired by Ir Prof Alfred Sit, included panelists Dr Frank Law Yuet Ying from the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF)]” .  However, a note provided by the authors on 6 July clarified that the accurate information is that the name of the panelist should be Dr Frank Law Yuet Wing.

Another error occurred in paragraph 7, where the original text provided by the authors incorrectly stated, “[The second panel, chaired by Dr Albert Law from PwC]”.  However, a note provided by the authors on 6 July clarified that the accurate information is that the name of the panelist should be Dr Albert Wong.

By publishing this erratum, we aim to rectify the inaccurate information and uphold the journal's standards of accuracy and credibility. 

The Engineering Council (UK) implemented “SARTOR3” system from 1999. Accredited MEng degrees or accredited BEng degrees plus matching sections are required to satisfy the academic requirements for Chartered Engineers in the United Kingdom. The HKIE is a signatory to the Washington Accord and the HKIE recognizes the accredited MEng or accredited BEng degrees plus matching sections of the Engineering Council (UK) from first intake year 1999 as satisfying the academic requirements for Member of the HKIE.

With effect from 1 March 2004, the “SARTOR3” system has been replaced by the “UK-SPEC”. The Engineering Council (UK) has revised UK-SPEC and has implemented it from 31 December 2021. The academic requirements for Chartered Engineers (CEng) Registration are:

• An accredited Bachelors degree with honours in engineering or technology, plus either an appropriate Masters degree or engineering doctorate accredited by a Licensee*, or appropriate further learning to Masters level
• An accredited integrated MEng degree
• An accredited Bachelors degree with honours in engineering or technology started before September 1999
• Equivalent qualifications or apprenticeships accredited or approved by a Licensee*, or at an equivalent level in a relevant national or international qualifications framework

*Licensee is the engineering institutions that have been licensed by the Engineering Council (UK) to assess individuals for professional registration.

The HKIE shall accept graduates from the UK as satisfying the academic requirements for Member of the Institution if they could provide document proof from the Engineering Council (UK) that they have satisfied the academic requirements (i) to (iii) above for Chartered Engineers (CEng) Registration.

Subject to the above, the current payment scale for reinstatement of membership other than for non-resident members, is a reinstatement fee of HK$440 (for administration purpose), plus all arrears in subscription. The arrears in subscription shall be subject to a maximum of three years’ subscriptions prior to the application for reinstatement of membership.

Non-resident members who apply for the reinstatement of membership as non-resident members shall only be required to pay a reinstatement fee of HK$440; all arrears in subscription shall be waived. All other requirements for reinstatement of membership shall remain unchanged.
