Following an invitation, a meaningful gathering of Hong Kong control/automation professional engineers and Jiangsu technologists/engineers was held at the Jiangsu Association for Science and Technology (JSAST) headquarters on 19 January 2026.
A delegation of six HKIE members was arranged by Ir Prof Louis Lock, Immediate Past Chairman of the CA Division cum Chairman of the CAI DAP.
After welcoming the attendees, Mr Wenxin Yang, JSAST Counsellor (Level II) provided an overview of JSAST and its recent activities with Hong Kong and overseas engineering organisations. He expressed the intention of professionalship engineers in Jiangsu becoming recognised internationally.
In this regard, he felt that meeting professional engineers from Hong Kong would be a good reference for mutual recognition or a reciprocal recognition agreement (RRA) which could be part of a “critical path of activities” for achieving their goal.
Ir Prof Lock highlighted the importance of becoming a corporate member of the HKIE or its equivalent, which could be membership of a professional institution in the UK and to be registered as a chartered engineer (CEng) under the Engineering Council.
He shared his experience of RRAs between the CAI discipline and the Society of Operations Engineers, UK (SOE) and the Institute of Measurement and Control, UK (InstMC). The response appeared to be favourable.
During the trip, a visit to the Siemens Numerical Control Ltd, Nanjing was also arranged. Members were impressed by the automated manufacturing processes.
Afterwards, a visit to the National Graduate College for Elite Engineers of Southeast University was arranged. Prof Yang Chen, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee cum Associate Dean of the College, welcomed the Delegation.
As the Delegation Head, Ir Prof Lock delivered a presentation entitled “Proud to Be a CAI Engineer”. He emphasised the importance of becoming a recognised professional, such as a Full Member of the HKIE (MHKIE) or a CEng.
He mentioned a couple of mega international engineering projects to echo the importance of recognised professional qualifications, like an MHKIE, a Registered Professional Engineer (RPE) or CEng. The feedback was encouraging.
控制、自動化及儀器儀表分部上任主席暨2025/2026年度專業界別諮 詢委員會主席樂法成教授、工程師、分部2025/2026年度副主席鄒文 瀚工程師、委員岑麗珊博士及當然委員鄧再展先生應南屯門官立中學 陳耀明校長邀請，於2025年12月20日出席在該校禮堂舉行的「全港 中小學環保風力發電機STEAM創作大賽2025（小學組）」並擔任頒 獎嘉賓。
本次賽事吸引了來自50多所小學、合共約70支隊伍參加，各隊爭奪最 佳環保設計獎、最佳A4報告獎、最佳STEAM元素改造大獎，以及隊 際和校際最大發電功率獎等多個榮譽。
在樂主席及鄧委員與陳校長的交談中提及到，舉辦比賽的目的是希望 讓參賽同學利用綠色材料設計或組裝簡單的風力發電機，以實踐環保 及創新的STEAM教學精神。
學生在各老師的指導下，組裝並測試自己的作品，將課堂上學到的知 識和技能實際應用。師生積極溝通合作，不斷共同優化參賽項目，展 現創新與科技潛力。樂主席表示，希望師生及家長們透過參與這次校 際STEAM比賽，加強對STEAM教育的理解與重視，為培育優秀的工 程接班人建立根基。
南屯門官立中學舉辦是次比賽，希望能鼓勵更多高小學生參與創新科 技活動，並提升他們的競賽水平。前分部主席、現任創新科技及工業局長孫東教授、工程師因有要事未能親臨活動現場，但仍特別為參賽師生及家長撰 寫題詞，以表達鼓勵和支持。
