Better education and better company leads that I can use to touch the world’s leading technology and projects in some parts, such as a leading nuclear power station, EV charging station/car, etc. Especially during the period of Covid-19, helping the customer to produce the electrical bank to protect the lives of people, such as hospitals, medical machinery, etc. against the virus.

What is your best memory of studying here?
Co-operation with my classmates and working overnight in Towers A, B, and C. Some classmates were local, some from Asia, Europe, and Africa. We were equal and helped each other where we could to do the homework. Sometimes in the middle of the night, together we drank, had midnight snacks, talked, laughed, and then carried on the homework. The life at that moment is hard, but to recall that now in my memory is nice.
