The Civil Engineering global PBL in Toyosu has entered its fifth day.
Today, continuing from the third day, the participants were divided into two teams for site visits and group activities. For the site visit, the participants visited a construction site in Chiba Prefecture that is using the SST soil improvement method with the support of SST Co. Ltd. and TOKYO Construction Technologies Co. Ltd. The students, especially those from overseas, were very excited about this visit and actively touched the SST method and asked questions at the site. The students had a very meaningful day today as they were able to experience the advanced soil improvement technology that Japan is proud of.
# 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.
