The Tsinghua Summer School for International Construction has recently concluded successfully, marking the end of a rewarding journey filled with knowledge exchange, innovation exploration, and cross - cultural interactions.

During the summer school, participants had the privilege of attending a series of insightful courses. Renowned experts like Roger Flanagan delved into topics such as “Re - alignment of Construction” and “Procurement for construction - its changing”, offering unique perspectives on the evolving construction industry. Wilson Lv shared insights on “Our Construction Digital Transformation Journey”, shedding light on the digital future of the sector. Tamura Sensei introduced “Wind Related Disaster Risk Reduction: Introduction to Structural Wind Engineering” and “Mathematical Model for Understanding Phenomena: How to Study Engineering”, equipping attendees with essential engineering knowledge. Other distinguished speakers, including Siyuan Song, Ioannis Brilakis, Rashid Maqbool, and Albert Ting Ning Cheng, also presented cutting - edge research and practical experiences in their respective fields, from personalized heat stress management in construction to Hong Kong's transport infrastructure development.

The summer school wasn't just confined to the classroom. Participants enjoyed a variety of site visits that enriched their learning experience. Museums, the Great Wall, and visits to industrial landmarks like Shougang International Convention and Exhibition Center, SANY Site, and Glodon Company provided a hands - on understanding of engineering applications in different contexts, be it historical preservation, cultural promotion, or industrial innovation.

Students from around the world exchanged ideas, shared their cultural backgrounds, and collaborated on engineering - related topics. This cross - cultural interaction not only broadened their engineering perspectives but also fostered lifelong friendships and professional networks. The Tsinghua Summer School for International Construction has once again proven to be a platform for nurturing future engineering leaders, promoting international cooperation, and advancing engineering innovation.
