Programme Highlights

Over the years, material engineers in the construction industry have been trained from universities with science and engineering curriculum and practiced in the industry.  Nonetheless, as their professional status are often not been recognized by appropriate engineering institutions, it has undermined their career development.

The Materials Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers sees the need to streamline the route to corporate memberships of material engineers by defining clearly the          roadmaps to the same so as to pay recognition to those who deserved the memberships.  The categories of Material Engineers in the construction industry covers the following nature of works:-

        (a)  Construction Management

        (b)  Material Factory Management

        (c)  Laboratory Management

        (d)  Certification and Audit

        (e)  Research and Development
