The Civil Engineering global PBL in Toyosu has entered its fourth day.
On this day, February 29, the 10 groups worked on their assigned tasks throughout the morning and afternoon. Some groups explored the Toyosu campus, comparing experimental equipment used at different universities and discussing differences in experimental methods. Other groups left the campus to visit and study disaster prevention facilities in Tokyo. All groups seemed to enjoy working in a friendly atmosphere and using a variety of languages, especially English.
# The global PBL in Civil Engineering is a program involving approximately 130 civil engineering students from Shibaura Institute of Technology, Kasetsart University, Asian Institute of Technology, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, and Hanoi University of Civil Engineering. The program will explore disaster prevention and mitigation technologies as a countermeasure to natural hazards (earthquakes, torrential rains, etc.) common to Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as how infrastructure technologies should be developed to achieve the Goal 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), “Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
