PROUD MOMENT FOR TECHNICIAN APPRENTICES *****
TWO TECHNICIAN APPRENTICES OF THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT RECENTLY CAPTURED THE FIRST PRIZE IN A BEST AUTOMOTIVE PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD+ COMPETITION ORGANISED BY THE HONG KONG CENTRE OF THE INSTITUTES OF THE MOTOR INDUSTRY AND ROAD TRANSPORT ENGINEERS.
LUNG PUI-WAH AND HO YUEN-CHUNG, BOTH AGED 22, WON FIRST PRIZE IN THE TECHNICIAN CLASS OF THE COMPÉTITION WITH THEIR JOINT PROJECT ON +FUEL ECONOMISER IN LOW TO MEDIUM ENGINE CAPACITY VEHICLES+.
+I'M REALLY SURPRISED THAT OUR PROJECT WON THE FIRST PRIZE AND OF COURSE WE'RE DELIGHTED. IT GOES TO SHOW THE JUDGES' APPRECIATION THAT OUR THEORIES ARE INDEED PRACTICABLE,+ HO SAID.
AN EQUALLY JUBILANT LUNG EXPLAINED THAT THEY CHOSE THE SUBJECT BECAUSE FUEL ECONOMISER HAD ALWAYS BEEN A PROMINENT FEATURE IN THE DESIGN OF HIGH ENGINE CAPACITY CARS, BUT NOT SO WITH SMALLER VEHICLES. IT IS AN AREA WORTHY OF EXPLORATION,+ HE SAID.
AS FIRST PRIZE WINNERS, HO AND LUNG RECEIVED $3 000 IN CASH AND WERE ALSO PRESENTED LETTERS OF CONGRATULATIONS BY THE COMMISSIONER FOR TRANSPORT.
THE WINNERS ARE AMONG FOUR TECHNICIAN APPRENTICES IN THEIR FINAL YEAR OF TRAINING UNDER A FOUR-YEAR MOTOR VEHICLE ENGINEERING APPRENTICESHIP ADMINISTERED BY THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT.
TRAINING INCLUDES THEORETICAL STUDIES IN TECHNICAL INSTITUTES AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE THROUGH ATTACHMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT'S VEHICLE EXAMINATION DIVISION.
A TOTAL OF 15 TECHNICIAN APPRENTICES ARE CURRENTLY UNDERGOING TRAINING UNDER THE SCHEME.
HO AND LUNG, NOW ATTACHED TO THE KOWLOON BAY VEHICLE EXAMINATION CENTRE, WILL FORMALLY JOIN THE DEPARTMENT AS VEHICLE TESTERS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER ON COMPLETION OF THEIR APPRENTICESHIP.
