The CEE South Korea Study Tour, which took place from 27 May to 2 June 2024, was an extraordinary journey that offered our students a wealth of valuable experiences. During the tour, our students had the chance to visit and engage with peers at two prestigious universities renowned for their contributions to the civil engineering industry: Kyung Hee University (KHU) in Suwon and KAIST in Daejeon. They participated in student mixer events, where they shared insights on civil engineering advancements in both Hong Kong and South Korea.
Additionally, our students were granted a valuable opportunity to explore a significant construction project managed by the Hyundai E&C Group – the first Han River underground road tunnel in Korea. This site is notable for its use of advanced Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) technology, from which our students gained considerable knowledge.
We are sincerely thankful for the warm hospitality from the professors and students of KHU & KAIST. Their kindness and welcoming nature greatly enriched our experience, making our study tour both enjoyable and informative. We believe that this study tour will inspire our students for their understanding in civil engineering.
