Danang, 23 September — The International School of [University Name] has officially launched its Civil Engineering Internship Program, marking an important step in connecting classroom learning with practical industry experience. The program provides students with valuable exposure to real construction sites, professional design offices, and multidisciplinary project environments — preparing them to become globally competent engineers.

Hands-On Experience with Industry Partners

Through partnerships with top-tier companies in construction, infrastructure, and consulting engineering, students are placed in positions where they can observe, learn, and contribute to ongoing projects. These companies include local and international firms specializing in structural design, transportation systems, water resources, geotechnical engineering, and sustainable construction.

Interns are assigned to various roles such as:

5. Site supervision and quality control on active construction projects.
5. Structural modeling and drafting using tools like AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, and STAAD.Pro.
5. Project documentation and reporting, including progress summaries and material testing logs.
5. Safety management and environmental assessment in accordance with industry standards.

Integrating Theory with Real Practice

The internship program aims to bridge the gap between theoretical study and engineering practice. Over the 8–12 week placement period, students are guided by professional engineers and project managers who mentor them in applying civil engineering principles to solve real-world problems.

“We want our students to see engineering not only as a technical profession but as a creative discipline that shapes communities and improves lives,” shared Dr. Nam Tran-Hoai, Dean of the International School.
“Through this internship, they learn teamwork, ethics, and professional communication — all essential qualities of a global engineer.”

Students’ Reflections and Impact

For many students, this internship is their first major professional experience. It offers a clear view of how academic knowledge translates into engineering decisions that affect safety, sustainability, and cost-efficiency.

“Working on-site helped me understand how every design detail matters,” said Mr. Xuan Tran-Duy, K27CSU-XDD.
“It’s inspiring to contribute to a project that people will actually use — from bridges and buildings to public spaces.”

Commitment to Global Standards in Engineering Education

The International School continues to strengthen its connections with industry and expand opportunities for students through joint research projects, guest lectures from practicing engineers, and international internships. These efforts align with the school’s mission to deliver world-class education that meets ABET and CDIO frameworks — ensuring that graduates are ready to tackle global engineering challenges.

A Foundation for the Future

The Civil Engineering Internship Program represents more than just professional training — it’s a foundation for lifelong learning, innovation, and leadership in the construction and infrastructure sectors. As students return to campus, they bring back not only technical skills but also confidence, professional discipline, and a deeper understanding of their role in building the future.
