All Korean professional engineer′s great joy Is to welcome the Japanese professional engineers and relevant guests to the 1987 Japan-Korea Professional Engineers Joint Convention organized by the Korean Professional Engineers Association. As there exists an effort of blood, sweat and tear behind a succeeded theatrical stage, so an exquisite devotion with drawing up a master plan, investigation, supervision and etc by engineering firms is soaked through every part of huge construction projects and large unit factory buildings. It is over 14 years that the Engineering Service Promotion Law has been enacted by the Ministry of Science and Technology. In the meantime, the domestic engineering (engineering service) have reached a remarkable higher level while the number of engineering firms participating in overseas market has gradually been increasing. From a small scale of under water investigation to a large scale planning of atomic reactor or petrochemical plant, engineering service business can be said "The Software of Total Industry." Engineering service is what is called a higher business which offers specialized engineering know-how and experience. Engineering service compaines offer Its specialized knowledge and experience to government, industry and commerce. Whether the task is to modernize plant equipment, to design a building or to manage construction, an engineering company will develop and implement the most appropriate and cost effective solution. Clients use the engineering service of firm knowing that the engineer′s professional judgement is not influenced or biased by other commercial affiliations. While benefiting from the diverse experience that professional engineers can apply to a specific problem, government and industry also reduce the need for permanent in-house engineering staff. Engineering firms may be specialized or multi-disciplinary.

I would like to propose the initiation of co-operating research about $\ulcornerIndustrial$ structure between Japan and $Korea\lrcorner.$ The purpose of this investigation is to study about appropriate system of industrial structure Japan and Korea including interactive relation. In future, tile interactive relationship of industrial structure should be desided by the investigation of a characterization about alocality, a racial character, a existence of resources, a weather, a history and natural features of a region. According to these investigation, frictionless structure of industrial society of each country will be born. The most appropriate researcher's group is Consulting Engineer's Association of each country, because they are independent from a national benefite and a profit of enterprise. According to the above reason. I propose to start the co-operating research project immediately.
