attended

Sustainability:
Hong

Sustainable

Goals.
HKIE
President
Ir
Eric
MA
said,
“The
UNSDGs
aim
to
promote
prosperity
while
protecting
the
planet.
Engineering
plays
a
major
role
in
achieving
many
of
the
UNSDGs.
Through
the
launch
of
Engineered
for
Sustainability:
Hong
Kong’s
Contribution
to
United
Nations
Sustainable
Development
Goals,
we
hope
to
strengthen
understanding
among
members
of
the
public
as
well
as
within
the
engineering
sector
of
how
various
engineering
disciplines
can
integrate
environmental,
social
and
economic
considerations
into
their
practices.
The
engineering
industry
is
in
a
unique
position
to
lead
sustainable
development
through
actively
collaborating
across
the
aspects
of
engineering
design,
construction,
renovation,
operation
and
reuse,
using
electronic
control
systems,
IoT,
promoting
new
industrialisation,
autonomous
vehicle
technology,
sustainable
energy
systems,
etc.”
The
International
Engineering
Alliance
(IEA)
resolved
the
proposed
changes
of
IEA
Graduate
Attributes
and
Professional
Competencies
(GAPCs)
to
align
with
the
UNSDGs
in
2021.
As
a
Member
of
IEA,
the
HKIE
will
review
its
Graduate
Attributes
for
accrediting
engineering
programmes
and
its
Competence
Standards
for
admitting
members
to
factor
in
the
UNSDGs.
The
reviews
are
in
the
pipeline
and
the
new
HKIE
Graduate
Attributes
and
Competence
Standards
are
planned
for
implementation
in
2026/27.
