Civil Engineering students successfully defend their graduation theses in 2025

On December 26, 2025, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Van Lang University, organized the Graduation Thesis Defense Ceremony for students of Classes 25, 26, and 27 in the Civil Engineering major. The event marked an important milestone, enabling future engineers to confidently enter the professional workforce, ready to integrate and demonstrate their capabilities in real-world practice.

In this year’s defense round, three academic panels evaluated 54 projects covering a wide range of topics, focusing on large-scale and complex constructions such as high-rise buildings (over 20 floors), apartment complexes, shopping centers, and office buildings. During the defense, each student was given three to five minutes to present an overview of their project, followed by 15 minutes for presentation and defense, addressing questions and justifying their technical solutions and design proposals before the evaluation committee.

After 15 weeks of rigorous and continuous implementation, the 2025 graduation theses received highly positive evaluations from the academic panels. Students demonstrated clear engineering thinking, proactive research spirit, and strong command of modern presentation methods. In addition, proficient use of specialized software such as AutoCAD, SAP2000, ETABS, and REVIT contributed to enhancing the quality of structural analysis, calculations, and modeling.

Notably, many projects demonstrated high practical applicability, closely adhering to current design codes and standards while effectively addressing complex structural challenges required by modern construction works. The academic panels recognized the Top 5 outstanding theses at the 2025 Graduation Thesis Defense of Civil Engineering major, awarded to the following students: Le Van Khanh - Class 27, Nguyen Van Khoa - Class 26, Le Tien Trung - Class 27, Ngoanh Chanh Toan -Class 27, and Phan Huu Phuoc - Class 27.

Notably, with 30 meticulously developed technical drawings, student Le Van Khanh outstandingly became Overall Valedictorian with the project titled “Structural Analysis and Design for Nguyen Dinh Chieu Plaza”, achieving an impressive evaluation score. The project convinced the academic panels through its logical approach to problem-solving, rigorous computational modeling, well-founded structural solutions, and clear demonstration of the ability to synthesize specialized knowledge and apply BIM technology in the design of large-scale constructions.

The Graduation Thesis Defense of the Civil Engineering major is not only an opportunity for students to affirm their professional competence and mark their academic growth, but also a testament to the application and practice-oriented training quality of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Van Lang University. Feedback, critiques, and recommendations from the academic panels will serve as a valuable stepping stone for students to further refine their work and equip themselves with a solid foundation for their future professional careers.
