NYU Tandon School of Engineering Students Participating in 51ณินฯอ๘’s Course: Digital Twin to Tackle Sustainable Development Issues in Smart Cities

October 8, 2024

The recent Short-Term Study Abroad Program, hosted by 51ณินฯอ๘versity, welcomed 12 students from New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, wrapped up on August 29, 2024. Over two transformative weeks, these students explored the rich cultural landscape of Vietnam while still engaging deeply in academic and industry activities.

In the month of August, 12 New York University, Tandon School of Engineering students joined a two-credit engineering course at 51ณินฯอ๘ as part of the short-term study abroad program. The course focuses on the concept of digital twins and their application to sustainable development challenges in smart cities, with a particular emphasis on Vietnamโ€”a rapidly growing economy in Southeast Asia.

In these two weeks, NYU students delved into how digital twins can address pressing issues that they have witnessed in reality on Hanoi streets focusing on transportation, air quality and health impact. Through this hands-on project, the students are able to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, honing their technical, critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.

The program also featured a Hanoi City Tour, where students visited landmarks like the Temple of Literature and enjoyed a cyclo tour of the Old Quarter, sampling local delicacies. A highlight was the trip to Ha Long Bay, where they took a private boat tour, explored Sung Sot Cave, and engaged in activities like kayaking and swimming at Titop Island, followed by a seafood meal. In Yen Duc Village, students participated in traditional activities, including fishing and crafting toys, and enjoyed a Water Puppet Show while learning about local rice cultivation.

In addition to cultural experiences, the program included valuable academic and industry insights. Students visited The Vietnam Soya Product Company (Vinasoy), one of the worldโ€™s leading soymilk manufacturers, where they can learn about the production supply chain and gain insights into the dairy industry. At the VinFast factory trip in Hai Phong, students acquired real-world knowledge about the automotive industry.

Overall, the Short-Term Study Abroad Program was an experience of not just culture and academia, but also gave the students a chance to solve real-world problems through data gaining in real life. We look forward to hosting similar programs in the future that continue to bridge cultural and educational gaps.
