如果我係一個文科嘅DSE考生,考完DSE後冇再進修入行做BS一段時間累積唔少經驗,但冇工程相關學歷,可唔可以攞到工程師牌?
先講結論﹕理論上係可行。
由於 CIBSE / IMechE / IET 性質類似,筆者只以MCIBSE CEng做例子。
呢種情況,第一步係要先攞MCIBSE,而唔係直接攞MCIBSE+CEng。睇下呢兩張圖紅框所示就會好清楚[1]
要成為MCIBSE,只需要你有Building Servicese相關工作經驗[2],並滿足CIBSE所訂嘅ABCDE五大項Competence Criteria,似乎無特定學歷要求。呢個時候你要寫一份Engineering Practice Report EPR (筆者前文如<點寫EPR (A: Knowledge & Understanding)>有分享過份EPR點寫) 並參加CIBSE嘅面試。成功後,你就可以MCIBSE嘅一員。
第二步係寫Technical Review Report TRR, 呢份嘢嘅目的係要證明你已達到Master Degree Level [3]。CIBSE提供詳盡嘅指引及TRR範本,詳情可見<CIBSE: Technical Report: Sample>。難唔難寫?筆者覺得如果你自學能力OK嘅,應該唔會太難,大概就係一份大學Final Year Project嘅難度。提交TRR後,CIBSE會再對你進行一次面試,以確定提交嗰份TRR嘅水平,成功後就成為正式嘅 Chartered Engineer (MCIBSE CEng),見下圖紅框所示[1]﹕
之後可以通過RRA機制,以MCIBSE CEng獲得MHKIE(BSS)。當然,呢步只係理論上可行。實際會唔會被HKIE「翻閹」,都要睇HKIE(BSS)嘅考官點諗,可參考筆者前文<HKIE RRA形同虛設 之 考官自訂遊戲規則>。
上述背景嘅考生,有冇可能唔經RRA,而直接考MHKIE(BSS)? 理論上可行。見HKIE M3 Routes to Membership 或下圖﹕
要求大概係35歲以上,15年以上嘅"Progressive Experience" (即係35歲個定義係多餘,有15年以上佢地定義嘅"Progressive Experience",點止35歲),寫5000~10000字paper[4]後,再面試成功就搞掂。不過,恕筆者孤陋寡聞,暫時只知道曾經有一個年過五十歲嘅政府Senior Technical Officer STO用呢個方法成功攞到MHKIE;未見過有私人市場人士能夠經此途徑成功。
一般而言,成功攞到MHKIE後,等夠一年入form就一定攞到R.P.E.。
理論上,攞到 MCIBSE / MIMechE / MIET CEng後,等夠一年同樣有資格入form攞R.P.E.(BSS/MCL/ELL);但實際上,近期走呢條路嘅人都會被工程師註冊管理局捉去 full set 「翻閹」(交Engineering Practice Report + CPD + Interview + 即場考Essay) 兼不問考生表現直接肥佬[5]。有傳係工程師註冊管理局唔希望攞到CEng嘅人繞過HKIE攞R.P.E.,想趕晒啲人返去攞咗MHKIE先,再入form攞R.P.E.。
如果你既唔攞MCIBSE CEng,亦唔攞MHKIE(BSS),有冇可能直接攞R.P.E.(BSS)?
- 你有華盛頓協議認可嘅工程學位的話,理論上可行[3];
- 你係上述DSE文科畢業生,冇任何認可嘅工程學位的話,就一定唔得。
我地睇下Cap.409《工程師註冊條例》12.(1)(a)(3)係點寫﹕
“已在工程學及其他學科的考試中取得合格,並曾接受訓練及取得經驗的人,而該等考試、訓練及經驗,是獲得管理局在一般或個別情況下接納為不低於同一界別內學會的會員標準的資格”
即係冇MCIBSE / MIMechE / MIET or CEng or MHKIE理論上都可以直接攞R.P.E. (筆者未聽聞過有人用呢個方法成功攞到R.P.E.),但冇認可嘅工程學位就連理論上都冇可能成功。

CIBSE舊嘅M20 form有定義過Sope of Building Services - “heating, lighting, refrigeration, acoustics, air-conditioning, ventilation, water, plumbing, powersystems, vertical transport, control systems, fire and security, alarm systems, facade engineering, public health, integrated systems and intelligent buildings, including environmental and sustainability aspects. It may include roles in facilities management, project management, construction management, research, development and education.”;
CIBSE新嘅form寫嘅範圍似乎更闊 - "you will need to demonstrate your competence within the field of Building Services Engineering. You may have broad based experience and responsibility or specialise in one or more aspects of building services which include aspects of Facilities, Façade, Digital, Vertical Transport or Academia, just to name a few.”
