Tiếng ViệtVietnam’s construction industry is entering a digital transformation era, where Building Information Modeling (BIM) is no longer just a concept but a practical solution for comprehensive project lifecycle management. Embracing this trend, on September 29, 2025, Mien Tay Construction University, in collaboration with Konia Co., Ltd. – the exclusive distributor of Tekla Structures in Vietnam – organized a scientific seminar themed: ‘BIM at Your Fingertips – Applying Tekla for the Next Generation of Engineers.
The event not only carried academic significance but also reaffirmed the strong connection among University – Industry – Students, laying a solid foundation for the young generation of engineers to confidently integrate into the digital construction market.
Tekla Structures – A Powerful Modeling Tool within the BIM Ecosystem
To highlight the value that Tekla Structures and BIM bring, the seminar emphasized that the application of technology in construction does not merely enhance design visualization but also enables synchronized management throughout the entire lifecycle—from design and construction to operation. With project data fully digitized, stakeholders can collaborate more effectively, minimize errors, and optimize both costs and schedules.
Within this ecosystem, Tekla Structures plays a pivotal role by allowing highly detailed and precise 3D modeling of steel structures, integrating real-time data management, and facilitating seamless sharing among teams. As a result, young engineers are not confined to theoretical learning but gain hands-on experience closely aligned with real-world practice, thereby significantly enhancing their competitive edge in the high-quality labor market.
In her opening remarks, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Do Thi My Dung – Dean of the Faculty of Construction at Mien Tay Construction University – emphasized the significance of the seminar.
An Academic Event Connecting University – Industry – Students
Recognizing these practical values, Mien Tay Construction University chose BIM and Tekla as the central focus of the scientific seminar themed “BIM at Your Fingertips – Applying Tekla for the Next Generation of Engineers,” held on September 29, 2025. The event attracted a large number of students, lecturers, and construction enterprises, marking a highlight that affirms the University’s commitment to innovation in education amid the era of digital transformation.
The seminar was accompanied by Konia Co., Ltd. – the exclusive distributor of Tekla Structures in Vietnam, and Dai Dung Trading – Construction – Mechanical Corporation – one of the country’s leading steel structure fabrication and construction companies. Their presence not only provided in-depth knowledge of BIM technology and Tekla software but also offered practical insights from major projects, helping students better visualize how BIM is applied from the classroom to the construction site.
In addition, the interactive Q&A session between students and enterprises became a highlight of the program. Young participants were eager to raise questions about professional skills, career opportunities, and how BIM and Tekla could serve as competitive advantages in real-world practice. Representatives from Konia and Dai Dung responded openly, giving students a more comprehensive perspective on the essential toolkit needed to become construction engineers in the digital era.

Opportunities for Learning and Global Certification
Most notably, as a strategic partner of the event, Konia introduced and provided students of Mien Tay Construction University with access to the self-paced online learning platform koniacampus.com – a Vietnamese-language E-learning system tailored to practical industry needs. This platform serves as a valuable resource, enabling learners to proactively enhance their competencies without the constraints of time or location.
Beyond that, Konia also offered students the opportunity to obtain a globally recognized certificate issued by Tekla, completely free of charge. As an internationally valued credential highly regarded by construction enterprises, this certificate significantly broadens career prospects for learners, both domestically and abroad.
Ms. Do Linh An – Marketing & Training Coordinator at KONIA – introduced the training programs and certifications organized by KONIA.
The seminar concluded in an atmosphere of excitement, leaving lecturers and students inspired with a spirit of innovation. More than just a knowledge-sharing session, it marked another step forward in strengthening the collaboration between the University and enterprises to enhance the quality of digital construction workforce training.
With the foundation of Tekla Structures, access to international certifications and online learning resources from Konia, along with the guidance of seasoned experts, young engineers are empowered to confidently bring knowledge from the classroom to the construction site, ready to become pioneers leading Vietnam’s construction industry into the comprehensive BIM era.
