In this year, the student camp’s project is the construction of Yuwawissawakorn Borpit 37 Bridge by building a reinforced concrete bridge sized 5 by 36 meters at Baan Huay Pla Fa, Moo 3, Tambon Na Dee, Amphoe Dan Sai, Loei, during the summer. The presentation ceremony was recently held at the conference room, the Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University.

Established in 1969, the engineering student camp began its activity with an aim to apply engineering knowledge, particularly in constructing facilities i.e. bridges, spillways and school buildings, for public use. The students will learn to work as a team, spending a summer vacation working on the project. Besides, it is a good opportunity for the students to build a relationship with local people and learn about Thai village life and contribution for social development. Viewing rural development is fundamental for the national development, Esso has supported the camp activity for about 20 years.
