4 CEE students were invited by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) to participate in a 5 days summer school programme from 8-12 July 2024.
During this program, our students had the privilege of attending several lectures at NYCU focused on sustainability practices in civil engineering. Topics included the potential applications of AI, hands-on experience in developing a disaster warning system, and health monitoring and time signal classification for offshore wind turbine substructures. These lectures not only expanded their knowledge by allowing them to create a warning system using the provided devices but also facilitated valuable interactions with Taiwanese students. This fostered cross-cultural exchange and the sharing of insights. Additionally, the technical tour to the Danjiang Bridge construction site was an eye-opening experience for our students.
We are sincerely thankful for the warm hospitality from the professors and students of NYCU to our students. Their kindness and welcoming nature greatly enriched our students’ experience, making their summer study both enjoyable and informative. We believe that this summer school will inspire our students for their deeper understanding in civil engineering.
