Step Forward with Passion – When Girls Choose Civil Engineering to study

NTTU – In modern society, the presence of women in many fields is to increasingly assert their role and position, especially in the industries where it has traditionally seen as “territory” for men. Lê Nguyễn Trà My, a female student in the Civil Engineering program at Nguyễn Tất Thành University, is an exemplary figure for the spirit of ”dare to dream, dare to pursue, and overcome prejudice” to conquer her passion.

Dare to hit the Road Less Traveled

Trà My firmly believes that every construction project holds immense value, contributing to beautifying life and serving the community. My’s choice has proven that passion and effort are not limited by gender.

Overcoming Barriers to Shine

Stepping into the lecture hall, Trà My faced many challenges as one of the few female students in her class, and she had to defer one semester behind her peers. In the beginning, My felt isolated and worried about whether she could keep up with the academic pace. However, with determination and the enthusiastic support from her teachers and friends, My gradually integrated and achieved encouraging results.

Inspiring through Real-Life Experiences

During a construction site visit in Ho Chi Minh City, My had the opportunity to directly observe the construction process and listen to insights from seasoned engineers in the field. This experience helped My gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and beauty of the profession she is pursuing. Practical sessions on surveying and structural design not only allowed My to apply theory to practice but also helped her develop attention to detail, precision, and teamwork skills.

The scholarship that Trà My has earned is a testament to her persistent effort and burning passion.
