The Faculty of Environment and Labour Safety organizes a field-based teaching and learning program at the Khanh Hoa Campus

From November 5 to 8, 2026, the Faculty of Environment and Labour Safety at Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) organized a field-based teaching and learning program at the TDTU Khanh Hoa Campus for 47 students enrolled in two courses, Computational Methods in Environmental Engineering and Computer Applications in Environmental Science, in Semester 1 of the 2026–2027 academic year. The program aimed to link students’ skills in computation, data processing, modelling and software tools with concrete local environmental problems.

On November 6, the delegation visited the Institute of Oceanography in Nha Trang. Through the exhibits at the Museum of Oceanography, students identified marine environmental problems that can be addressed with numerical methods, such as pollutant dispersion, dissolved oxygen dynamics, algal growth, and the vertical distribution of temperature and salinity, and explored sources of real-world data for their course exercises.

On November 7, classes were held at the Khanh Hoa Campus. In the morning, the Computational Methods course reviewed key content, answered students’ questions and provided guidance on the final report. In the afternoon, the Computer Applications course focused on GIS applications in water resources and water quality management, air quality management, pollution monitoring, disaster risk and climate change management, and environmental planning for sustainable development. Studying right after the field visit helped students connect classroom knowledge directly with the data and context of a coastal region.

While staying at the campus dormitory, students also experienced campus life and strengthened team spirit. The Faculty sincerely thanks the Khanh Hoa Campus, the Institute of Oceanography and the University’s functional offices for their support in making the program a success.

Below are some highlights from the program:
