The Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) was proud to host the “Engineers of the future: BEEE Engineer Pop-up” event on Friday, 3 February 2023. This event brought together five professional engineering societies:
- ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) - HK chapter;
- BSOMES (Building Services Operation and Maintenance Executives Society);
- CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) – HK Region;
- CIPHE (The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering); and
- HKIE (Hong Kong Institution of Engineers) – Building Services Division.
The “Engineers of the future: BEEE Engineer Pop-up” was a valuable opportunity for our BEEE students interested in their future engineering careers to connect with the professional engineering societies closely related to their field. Students had the chance to learn about the latest information and speak with the representatives from each professional body to discuss their professional status, engineering communities, express route to be qualified as a corporate member, registered professional engineers (RPE), and CEng, etc. The Department also sponsored the first-year membership fee of any society of students’ choice.
BEEE would like to extend our gratitude to all representatives for their voluntary participation in the “Engineers of the future: BEEE Engineer Pop-up”. BEEE believes that their sharing has deepened our BEEE students’ understanding of the roadmap of being a professional engineer in the field of Building Services Engineering, from academic level to professional level or even legal entity level.
