Through the cooperation between Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) and Asian Development Bank (ADB), the 5th year students from Department of Rural Engineering who receive scholarship support from ADB need to accomplish an educational field trip in order to learn on the actual engineering practices as well as management in the field specifically on water resources and rural infrastructure.
This year, Department of Rural Engineering of ITC has organized an educational field trip for the 5th year students under ADB’s scholarship program to Siem Reap province. This field trip aimed to help the students to build up their knowledge and know-how on water management and hydraulic structures development at the field within Angkor’s area under authorization of APSARA National Authority (APSARA). In the spirit of good cooperation so far, ITC has formally requested to APSARA for permitting a group of students and lectures to fulfill this field trip in Angkor’s area. Accordingly, APSARA has approved and requested to submit a report after completion. Moreover, APSARA has assigned technical staffs from Department of Water Management to facilitate and guide the students to learn about their projects at the specific sites in Angkor’s area.
The educational field trip has been carried out for 4 days from 13th to 16th February, 2017. This field trip was led by three lecturers from Department of Rural Engineering of ITC (Dr. Chhuon Kong, Dr. Hak Danet, Mr. Kem Chom) and participated by 29 students from Department of Rural Engineering, who receive ADB’s scholarship support.
The specific places to visit in Angkor’s area were: Department of Water Management of APSARA National Authority, Sras Srang Reservoir, Krang Kroch trees plantation field, Ta Som check-structure, North Baray (Jayatataka), Neak Pean ancient water filtration (middle of Nort Baray), Phreah Khan Temple drainage system, Angkor Thom’s moat, Trapeang Kchhorng Sedimentation basin, Sedimentation trapping channel connected to Angkor Wat’s moat, West Baray (Suryatataka) and hydraulic structures of Chaw Srei Vibol Temple (North and South moat, connection channel, check structure). Below are some photos of activity taken during the field trip.
