From January 7th to 9th, 2026, the Department of Excellent Engineering Training (PFIEV), Hanoi University of Civil Engineering successfully organized an interdisciplinary site visit to Ninh Binh for students of Classes 67.
The visiting delegation included Dr. Tong Ngoc Tu – Director of PFIEV, Ms. Nguyen Thi Truc Quynh – Deputy Director of PFIEV, Dr. Ngo Viet Duc – Head of the Transportation Infrastructure specialization at PFIEV, Dr. Nguyen Duc Manh – Head of the Hydraulic Engineering specialization at PFIEV, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Tuan – Head of the Construction Materials specialization at PFIEV, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai Chi – Department of Urban Infrastructure Planning, Ms. Duong Thanh Quynh – Faculty of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, Ms. Tran Thi Bich Van and Mr. Ho Van Tuan – Department of Excellent Engineering Training, and experts from the factory and construction site who directly shared knowledge and practical experience with the students.
This is a crucial practical learning activity for fourth-year students preparing for internships and graduation projects. The interdisciplinary field trip aims to provide students with access to real-world projects and construction sites, and to help them understand current trends in the construction and infrastructure industry. The participating majors include Transportation Engineering, Urban Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, and Construction Materials. Each major has a specialized training program and requires extensive practical experience. Therefore, the interdisciplinary field trip serves to supplement interdisciplinary knowledge, enhance social understanding, and improve professional skills.
The visiting group arrived at the Sun Urban City Project, one of the modernly invested urban projects. Here, students received an introduction to the master plan, urban development model, and related technical requirements.

The next stop was the Ninh Binh – Hai Phong Expressway construction project, specifically the section passing through Nam Dinh and Thai Binh provinces. This is a crucial expressway in the coastal region’s infrastructure development strategy. Students received presentations from experts on the design, materials, construction organization, and project timeline. This activity provided them with a visual understanding of large-scale road construction projects.
