王瑞杰称工程师成未来经济发展关键 民众揭学生不选工程系原因

上周,副总理王瑞杰受邀参加第53界工程师学会晚宴,表示工程师将会是未来经济发展中关键的角色。对此民众刘福添(Liu Fook Thim译音)则持相反意见,并揭露新加坡学生如今都不会选择修读工程系的原因。

刘先生在《海峡时报》论坛中以《为何工程系不再受欢迎》文章揭示,新加坡学生如今都比较不愿意报读工程系。

“不幸的是,如今新加坡人不再将工程学作为职业,而工程学位不再如医学或法律学位那般受欢迎。”

首先,工程界同业间如一盘散沙,且欠缺包容性和缺乏自我管理。再者,执业工程师不需向工程师协会注册。

如工程师卷入麻烦如淡滨泥高架桥断裂事故,工程师学会也没介入。不像新加坡医疗理事会或法律协会,工程师未有明确的自我规范管理。

其次,刘先生也指出,医学和法律界限制外籍人士在本地执业,但工程师却没有任何限制。即指在工程界中,会出现更多如外籍工程师,比起在国内接受严格教育多年,且毕业于南洋理工大学的国内工程师而言,许多雇主却更愿录用外国工程师。

但他们似乎不知道,其实南洋理工大学的工程系,才是亚洲顶尖之一。

压低本土工程师薪资

事实上,外籍工程师的流入进一步压低了工程师的薪水,因为他们愿意接受更低工资,使得国内工程行业似乎前景黯淡。

刘先生表示,“除非将以上问题解决了,否则即便工程师职业再如何高尚,国人仍会对这份工作敬而远之。”

政策研究所(IPS)曾在2013年做过一份民调,在1251受访国人中,有近半数(42.1巴仙)需履行国民服役(NS)义务的雇员认为,雇主更倾向录取那些没有国民服役束缚的雇员。

不过,有89巴仙则认为基本上雇主还是支持雇员去履行服役义务的;有76.9巴仙则反映,雇主会在后备军人回应受训(ICT)时调整雇员工作量。

IPS的研究员认为,这可能是一些业界领域希望雇员能对工作更为投入和有担当。
