In an effort to further strengthen the cultivation of international talents and enhance students' global perspectives and innovative awareness, our university actively prepared and meticulously organized a winter exchange program for 16 students from the School of Water Conservancy, School of Water Resources, and other teaching units to visit and study at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
This program is an integral part of our university's initiative for "International Talent Cultivation in the First-Class Discipline of Hydraulic Engineering." Centered on the theme of hydraulic engineering, the program features courses, lectures, and research activities related to water resource management, water cycle, intelligent water conservancy, water conveyance, geosciences, underground construction risk assessment, infrastructure and construction evaluation, and lifecycle analysis of engineering projects, and field trip and study activity on water conservation and reservoir engineering. These are conducted by members of the Singapore Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources' Drainage Design Review Panel, including Tan Soon Keat and Professor Tiong Lee Kong and Robert from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Nanyang Technological University.
The purpose of this program is to provide our students with world-class educational resources and deepen their understanding and appreciation of the goals for cultivating academic talents and top-notch innovative talents. This initiative is part of our university's exploration and practice of international talent cultivation models under the backdrop of creating "Double First-Class" universities and the assessment and promotion of undergraduate education and teaching. In the future, our university will further strengthen the construction of platforms for student overseas exchange programs and enrich the pathways for students to participate in international talent cultivation.
