FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1976
+SHORTLY AFTER THIS ADVICE BY PRINCE PHILIP, THE COUNCIL OF ENGINEERING INSTITUTIONS INTRODUCED A COMPULSORY EXAMINATION FOR CANDIDATES FOR MEMBERSHIP ENTITLED THE ENGINEER IN SOCIETY'. AMONGST OTHER SUBJECTS, THIS COVERS TECHNOLOGY IN SOCIETY INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROBLEMS, MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, AND PUBLIC RELATIONS, THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS HAS TAKEN THIS A STAGE FURTHER AND ALSO REQUIRE CANDIDATES FOR MEMBERSHIP TO BE PREPARED TO ANSWER AT THE IR PROFESSIONAL INTERVIEWS, A WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNITY AND MANAGEMENT TOPICS. 90 IT SEEMS THAT WHILE IT IS RECOGNISED THAT ENGINEERS MUST PLAY A WIDER ROLE IN THE FUTURE, THE COROLLARY IS ALSO ACCEPTED THAT IN THIS CASE THEIR TRAINING MUST BE CORRESPOND INGLY WIDENED.
+I REALISE, NONE BETTER, THE CONTRIBUTION THAT ENGINEERS HAVE MADE, ARE MAKING, AND WILL MAKE TO HONG KONG. SO IT HAS BEEN EVER SINCE SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS AGO CHINESE ENGINEERS MADE POSSIBLE THE SETTLEMENT OF THE VALLEYS OF THE SAI KUNG AND SHA TAU KOK PENINSULAS BY BUILDING THOSE GREAT SELF-DRAINING DYKES. SO IT WILL ALWAYS BE. IN HONG KONG THERE IS A CONJUNCTURE OF TERRAIN, FPROFITABILITY AND SHEER THRUST OF DYNAMIC DEVELOPMENT AND EVEN WITHIN SUCH A COMPARATIVELY SMALL AREA, THIS OFFERS A COMBINATION OF CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY TO THE ENGINEER WHICH MUST BE UNIQUE. THEIR WORKS ARE ALL ABOUT US, AND BY THEIR WORKS HONG KONG IS GROWING AND WILL PROSPER. AND SO ASK YOU ALL TO RISE AND DRINK A TOAST TO THE ENGINEERS OF HONG KONG AND THE HONG KONG INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS.+
