Supplementary Materials for HMEE-2012

by Ohn Khine & Hla Min

Updated : June 2025

Constraints

Due to time & resource constraints, only a fraction of the materials could be described in the book “History of University Engineering Education in Burma/Myanmar”

CD Supplement

U Ohn Khine (M70) and I compiled references, articles in English and photos that were not covered in the book into a CD.

We attempted to cover as much historical data and articles as possible.

Materials for non-Burmese readers

• Part 1 of the HMEE book was translated by U Ohn Khine (M 70). Saya Des Rodgers corrected the contextual and usage errors.
• Part 2 is not a complete translation of the Burmese text. To avoid duplication of some materials (e.g. lengthy tables), we have chosen to present a summary & overview.

Archives

• Archives from the RIT web sites: http://www.ex-rit.org and http://www.rit-alumni.info.
  Thanks to U Khin Maung Zaw and U Wunna Ko Ko for designing and maintaining the web sites.
• Archives from the SPZPs: SPZP-2000 (San Francisco), SPZP-2002, SPZP-2007 and SPZP-2010 (Singapore), and SPZP-2004 (Yangon)

Proofreaders

• Saya U Soe Paing, U Ohn Khine and I proof read HMEE-2012 and provided corrections (e.g. RIT Luyechun list did not contain 1965), but they was not enough time to do all the corrections.

HMEE projects

• Saya U Aung Hla Tun is the leader for HMEE-2012 and HMEE-2018 Projects.
• HMEE-2018 will cover revisions and extensions to HMEE-2012.
• Due to the pandemic and Saya’s demise, HMEE-2018 is in limbo.
