【#聯盟入隊攻略 🚀踏實 就係邁向工程師之路🔧】 Hi👋🏻！我係Eva，今日同大家分享我嘅故事✨！ 我之所以會成為Engineer Scarlett，其實係受我爸爸影響👨🔧。記得細個有次去中環遮打花園玩，身為機電工程師嘅佢好自豪咁話嗰個噴水池係佢負責嘅💦，仲解釋咗好多噴水池點樣循環供水嘅原理，同埋計算用水力度嘅方法🔧。嗰陣我唔係好明，但慢慢已經對工程學科產生咗興趣😲。 後來為咗成為工程師，我對自己要求好高📈。即使大學時期去澳洲Exchange🌏，我每日都用12個鐘溫習、做功課📖，課餘時間仲會去圖書館預習📚。 講咗咁多係想同大家分享幾個學習小貼士： 保持好奇心🔍：工程學科有好多嘢學，保持好奇心，唔怕問問題，會幫你學得更快！ 時間管理⏰：好好安排時間溫習，唔好臨急抱佛腳，考試先唔會咁大壓力。 分解目標🎯：將大目標分解成細目標，可以令你更容易保持動力。 希望大家都可以喺工程學科搵到自己嘅興趣，同我哋一樣，將來亦成為工程師💪🏻！ ▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴ 👉🏻 Like 同 Share 呢篇文章畀你嘅朋友，一齊學多啲啦！👩🏻🔧👨🏻🔧 ▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴ #HKIE #N展聯盟 #EngineerAlliance #HKIEMatters #工程師成長 #學習心得 #GenZ

🌟【Exchanging Insights on Hong Kong’s Professional Services】 Professional services are integral to Hong Kong's economy. Spanning across accounting, audit, tax, advisory, legal, and engineering sectors, these expert services are essential for the city's competitiveness, regulatory compliance, business efficiency, and overall economic growth. Senior Vice President Ir Alice Chow recently engaged in a thought-provoking roundtable discussion hosted by ACCA ( ACCA Hong Kong ) with thought leaders from diverse professional sectors in Hong Kong, with each contributing essential expertise that shape city’s business environment. Ir Chow emphasised the importance of embracing sustainability and innovation for Hong Kong’s financial prowess. As our professional landscape evolves, sustainability extend beyond environmental stewardship to encompassing long-term viability and resilience. Meanwhile, innovation drives efficiency and adaptability in this dynamic arena. The enriching exchange shed light on the power of collaboration and forward-thinking in shaping a prosperous future for Hong Kong and its professional services sector.  #Sustainability #Innovation

【SNIPF Visit to the HKIE】 On 7 November 2024, our Vice President, Ir Rupert LEUNG; Associate Director - Professional Standards & Services, Mr Wilbur PANG; and Senior Executive Manager – Learned Society, Ms Fonny LAM, welcomed Mr Gérard AUDOLY, President of the National Society of Professional Engineers of France (SNIPF), to our Headquarters. This visit by SNIPF marks a significant step towards establishing potential collaboration with engineering institutions in France, further strengthening our global connection. During the visit, Mr AUDOLY provided an overview of SNIPF’s history, noting that its certification was first accredited by the French Accreditation Committee in 1997. Since then, SNIPF has issued the internationally recognised Certificate of Competence of Professional Engineer (CDCIP), which is acknowledged in 196 affiliate countries. We also had the opportunity to share with Mr AUDOLY details about the HKIE’s structure, membership categories, and an overview of its Divisions and Disciplines. We look forward to exploring opportunities for collaboration with the SNIPF in the future, to the mutual benefit of both institutions. #HKIE #SNIPF #visit

【#N展聯盟機密檔案 🌬️風力發電 真正風馳電「製」🔧】   你知道風力發電好環保🌱，但你知唔知點解風力發電機（簡稱風機）嘅葉片一般係三片，唔係兩片或者四片呢🤔？   首先，我哋要了解風力發電嘅基本原理🔋： 1️⃣ 當風吹過葉片，會形成壓力差，令葉片旋轉； 2️⃣ 葉片轉動會帶動轉軸，通過齒輪箱提高轉速； 3️⃣ 最終帶動發電機發電⚡。   講返風機設計，研究顯示三片葉片嘅風機係擁有最高CP值嘅設計💡！ ❌ 兩片葉片雖然轉速較高，但係會產生較大噪音🔊； ❌ 四片葉片雖然可以減少噪音，但就會增加成本💸，並且對發電效率提升有限； ✅ 因此，三片葉片成為Best Choice👍。   了解風力發電背後嘅工程技術，我哋一齊為環境出一分力🌱！   ▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴ 👉🏻 Like 同 Share 風力發電知識畀你嘅朋友，一齊學多啲啦！👩🏻🔧👨🏻🔧 ▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴▴   #HKIE #N展聯盟 #EngineerAlliance #HKIEMatters #風力發電 #清潔能源 #環保 #可再生能源
