Biography
In August 1962 Mr Vũ Văn Tuấn, then teaching exploratory drilling at the Faculty of Mining and Geology, transferred to the Department. He held a doctorate; his work at the Department was linked to transport tunnels.
In 1967, with Messrs Nguyễn Tiến Cường, Nguyễn Thế Phùng and Nguyễn Hữu Bảng, he set up the Tunnel group, which studied on its own and completed a project equivalent to a graduation project in tunnel engineering so as to teach the transport-tunnel course to the 11th and 12th intakes.
In 1964 he became acting head of the Department. He was Deputy Head of the Department, was appointed Vice-Rector of the National University of Civil Engineering in 1976 and chaired the University Trade Union.
