I have been informed by IET that HKIE does not recognize the status of IET members when IET members in Hong Kong wish to apply for HKIE membership. The applications of our IET members are subject to a review which may comprise any or all of the following :
(a) Submission of a training and experience report
(b) Interview
(c) Essay test
(d) Submission of record of continuing professional development
We are further informed that HKIE has the discretion to determine on the extent and scope of the review.
I am sure there are a large number of engineers in Hong Kong who wish to have dual membership of IET and HKIE. As a corporate member of IET, I feel frustrated to see the unnecessary restrictions/procedures imposed by HKIE. I would say that HKIE has done something detrimental to the status and professional development of all working engineers in Hong Kong.
