This project aims to invite second year students of MSc program in Rock and Tunnel Engineering that started in 2020 at IoE-WRC with the help of IGP-NTNU. The first batch of 20 MSc students visited Norway with IoE Dean. The aim of the visit by the students is to observe and learn on how Norway builds tunnels and underground caverns, rock cut slopes and mining projects on a very cost effective and sustainable way. Such learning provides students an opportunity to learn about the capacity a rock mass can have, visualize on the rock support that is needed to strengthen the self-supporting capacity of the rock mass at each rock engineering project, tunnels, underground caverns and cut slopes.
