Thirty-one students who completed their course of study in engineering were given a warrant so that they can now start practicing and working in this profession for which the demand continues to grow. These warrants were presented by the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works Chris Bonett and the Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works Omar Farrugia.
During the ceremony, Minister Bonett congratulated the new engineers while stressing that from now on their signature became a certificate of quality and responsibility, even of people’s lives. He also added that the engineers must perform their duty seriously and with full respect to all the laws and regulations of the country.
“As a government we are always looking at how to increase more job opportunities for your profession, both in the private sector, by attracting more investment in the industry, as well as in the public sector which always needs people like you,” repeated Minister Bonett , while wishing the present engineers every success in their careers.
Parliamentary Secretary Omar Farrugia spoke on how engineers make a valuable contribution to the development of our country while he explained the responsibility that carries with him this certificate.
“Ethics should form the career of every engineer and therefore it is important that every engineer takes responsibility to carry out his work ethically. I encourage engineers to respect their profession and be responsible in the decisions they make in their work so that our country continues to move forward and achieve the necessary successes in this sector,” concluded Parliamentary Secretary Farrugia .
This warrant began to be given to engineering students in 1993 and since then 1763 warrants have been granted in this profession. The ceremony was also addressed by the Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Engineers, Eng. Keith Chetcuti and the Vice President of the Chamber of Engineers, Eng. Robert Busuttil.
