CEE South Korea Study Tour 2024
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 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (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 the valuable opportunity to explore a significant construction project managed by the Hyundai E&C Group – the first Han River underground road tunnel in South Korea. This site is notable for its use of advanced Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) technology, from where our students gained considerable knowledge.
We are sincerely thankful for the warm hospitality from the professors and students of KHU and KAIST. Their kindness and welcoming nature greatly enriched our experience, making our study tour both enjoyable and informative. We believe that this study tour has inspired further understanding in civil engineering among our students.
