Participated in Trilateral Students Activities(TSA)2024
From August 15th to 20th, I joined the Trilateral Student Activity 2024 (TSA 2024). This activity is an exchange event for students from the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Tokyo (Japan), Seoul National University (Korea), and National Taiwan University (Taiwan). It has been held every year for more than ten years. This year, it was held at Seoul National University.
The main objectives of this event are to exchange ideas in the field of civil engineering and experience new cultures. The main theme of this year’s event is renovation. During the event, we were divided into five groups: Structure, Hydraulics, Geotech, Transportation, and CAE, which we then worked together within each team. I joined the transportation group, where we compared the intelligent transportation systems in three countries and how we could improve them. On the last day, all of the groups presented their work.
Additionally, we also visited many places in Seoul. From my time in Seoul, I felt that it was a very interesting and fascinating city. Historical and contemporary buildings coexist in the same space. Public transportation is cheap yet convenient. My favorite thing in Korea was food. The food there was delicious, and I could feel that Korean really enjoy eating their food.
I gained a lot of experience and friends during this trip. I will definitely visit Korea again in the future. As for TSA, I am looking forward to the next year in Taiwan. [Krittanai]
