Programme Highlight

Many people and even many engineers think that Registered Structural Engineers shall only come from Chartered Structural Engineers.  However, according to Clause 3 of Building (Administration) Regulations,

“A person shall not be included in the structural engineers’ register unless he—         

is a registered professional engineer in the structural or the civil engineering discipline, and in the latter case unless he has such practical experience in structural engineering as may be approved by the Structural Engineers Registration Committee; “

Therefore, RPE from the structural and civil engineering discipline can be become a RSE after passing the interview by the Structural Engineers Registration Committee (RC). 

Key of getting through the interview is the practical experience in structural engineering.  Therefore, in this seminar, the Speaker will share concisely about his practical experience in structural engineering before acquiring the qualification of RSE, and how his career being changed after being a RSE.  He will also share some key knowledge of RSE, such as understanding of the Buildings Ordinance from structural engineering aspect, site safety and relationship between RSE and Civil Engineering.
