During the 9 th Japan-Thailand Joint Trade and Economic Committee Meeting held in Kobe, Japan in 1989, the 

delegates from the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations (Keidanren – now Nippon Keidanren) and the 

Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) realized that in order to enhance industrial development of Thailand, engineering 

programs, where all lecture and laboratory courses would be taught in English by highly qualified faculty members 

with doctoral degrees, need to be established. 

A cooperation agreement among Keidanren, FTI, and Thammasat University was reached in 1992 to establish 

bachelor degree programs in engineering at Thammasat University with initial funds provided by Keidanren and FTI. 

After two years of successful operation, the "International Institute of Technology (IIT)" was founded on September 

16, 1994. Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the Cornerstone Laying 

Ceremony of a new building at the Rangsit Campus of Thammasat University, using part of the initial fund for the 

construction. His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand graciously granted the Institute a new name, 

“Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT)”, on June 28, 1996. 

On October 2, 1997, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the Sirindhorn 

International Institute of Technology’s Inauguration Ceremony of its name and building. In 1999, FTI provided a 

parcel of land with an existing building at Bangkadi Industrial Park (BKD) for SIIT’s use for 30 years. In June 2001, 

the former Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun inaugurated a new building for technology programs at Bangkadi 

Industrial Park. 

Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the inauguration of the Sirindhralai 

Building of SIIT at Bangkadi on June 28, 2006. 

Backgrounds of the three founding organizations of Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology are briefly 

described as follows. 


Founded in 1934, Thammasat University was originally dedicated to the teaching of humanities and social sciences. 

The University has produced a large number of graduates who have greatly contributed to the development and 

progress of the country. 

Realizing the significant impact of science and technology on the country's economic growth, in the 1980’s and 

1990’s Thammasat University initiated degree programs in engineering, technologies, physical sciences, and medical 

sciences at its Rangsit Campus, Pathum Thani. 

The Japanese Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren) 

Through the merger of several economic and industrial organizations, the Japan Federation of Economic 

Organizations (Keidanren) was established in August 1946. Keidanren was a private, non-profit economic 

organization representing virtually all branches of economic activities in Japan. Keidanren maintained close contact 

with both public and private sectors at home and abroad, and endeavored not only to find practical solutions to 

economic problems but also to contribute to the sound development of the economics of Japan and countries around 

the world. 

In May 2002, Keidanren merged with Nikkeiren (Japan Federation of Employer’s Associations) to become Nippon 

Keidanren (The Japanese Business Federation). 

Headed by internationally distinguished leaders of the Japanese business community, Nippon Keidanren plays an 

active and influential role towards the achievement of harmonious economic prosperity for all mankind. 

The Federation of Thai Industries 

Formerly known as the Association of Thai Industries (ATI), the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) came into 

existence on December 29, 1987. It was a transformed body of ATI, which was created in 1967. FTI is an industrial 

private sector that brings together industrial leaders to promote Thailand's socio-economic development. The main 

objectives of FTI are to represent Thai manufacturers at both national and international levels, to help promote and 

develop industrial enterprises, to work with the government in setting up national policies, and to offer consulting 

services to members. 

1



FTI is a full-service organization that cooperates with the government to help mobilize Thai industries to reach 

international markets. It acts as a "match-maker" between foreign industrialists and Thai resources which combine 

the financial strength, planning ability, and persuasive power of Thailand's industrialists. 


Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT) offers undergraduate and graduate programs (master and 

doctoral levels) leading to the Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc), Master of Science (MSc), 

and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the following areas: chemical engineering (ChE), civil engineering (CE), 

computer science (CS), electronics and communication engineering (EC), engineering management (EM), industrial 

engineering (IE), information technology (IT), management technology (MT), and mechanical engineering (ME). 

At the present time, the Institute has established both faculty member and student exchange programs with a 

number of universities in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. These programs allow not only faculty 

members to collaborate with their counterparts in research projects but also students to have an opportunity to 

take courses at those universities. Additionally, invitations to visit and teach SIIT courses are regularly extended 

to qualified foreign professors under such programs. 

Although it is a unit of Thammasat University, SIIT is financially and administratively separate from the central 

university system. SIIT’s policies and operations are guided and supervised by the Board of Trustees which consists 

of representatives from Thammasat University, FTI, and Nippon Keidanren, and scholars appointed by the 

university. In addition, the Academic Review Committee (ARC) comprising reputable scholars in various fields 

provides guidance and recommendations on academic and research matters. The Institute, headed by the 

Director, consists of administrative divisions, a library and information services center, academic schools, and 

Department of Common and Graduate Studies (CGS). 

The Campuses of SIIT

8. Students who do not register by the first 4 weeks of a semester will be dismissed from SIIT. 

9



Auditing a Course 

1. With permission by the instructor and the advisor, a student may audit a course without evaluation. The 

student must pay the tuition fee for the course. 

2. Auditing may not be changed to regular evaluation after the second week of a regular semester. 

3. A grade report will bear "AUD" for the audited course after such a course is completed. 

4. The number of credits for an audited course will be counted towards the upper limit of the number of credits 

allowed in a semester, but will not be counted towards the lower limit. 

5. The credit(s) of an audited course will not be counted towards the total credit accumulation. 

6. An audited course cannot be re-registered at a later time for formal evaluation unless there is a change in the 

student's study program that warrants the need for formal evaluation of the course. 

Course Addition/Withdrawal 

1. If authorized by the advisor, course addition must be processed within the first 14 days of a regular semester 

or within the first 7 days of a summer session. 

2. If authorized by the instructor and the advisor, course withdrawal will result in one of the following cases: 

2.1 If a course is withdrawn within the first 14 days of a regular semester (7 days for a summer session), the 

academic record will not bear the title of such a course. 

2.2 If a course is withdrawn after the first 14 days (7 days for a summer session) but not later than the first 

ten weeks (4 weeks for a summer session) of a regular semester, the academic record will bear the title 

of such a course and a W grade. 

2.3 Course withdrawal after the first 10 weeks of a regular semester (4 weeks for a summer session) is not 

allowed unless special permission is obtained from the director. With the approval from the director, the 

course will bear a W grade. 

3. A withdrawal that reduces the number of credits to less than 9 credits is prohibited. 

Leave and Suspension 

1. A student can apply for a leave of absence. This must be approved by the director on the condition that the 

student has an appropriate reason. However, a student cannot take a leave during the first two semesters of 

his/her undergraduate study unless the Thammasat University Rector approves the request. 

2. A student cannot apply for leave for more than two consecutive semesters unless the Rector of Thammasat 

University specially permits it. 

3. A leave will result in one of the following cases: 

3.1 If the first day of leave falls within the first 14 days of a regular semester, the academic record will not 

bear any of the titles of the registered courses. 

3.2 If the first day of leave falls after the first 14 days, but no later than the first ten weeks of a regular 

semester, the academic record will bear W grades for all the courses registered in the current semester. 

3.3 A student can apply for leave after the first ten weeks of a regular semester only if there is an 

uncontrollable reason. A student or a student's trustworthy representative is required to submit an 

application for leave with creditable evidence to the academic program. 

4. A student who is suspended from studying during a semester due to disciplinary cause will not be permitted to 

take the final examination. This penalty will be recorded on the student's academic record. No grades or 

credits for the courses registered in the current semester will be given. A suspended student must pay a fee 

for maintaining his/her student status, unless he/she has paid the educational support fees. 

5. A student who is permitted to take a leave or suspended before paying the educational support fees must pay 

a fee for maintaining his/her student status. 

6. Leave, suspension, or readmission cannot be used as a reason to extend the maximum limit of 7 years to 

complete the degree requirements. 

10



Re-Admission 

A student who has been dismissed for a reason other than academic performance, such as failure to register within 

the time limit of a semester or has not paid debt owed to SIIT, may request for re-admission by submitting a request 

to the Registration Division. If approved, the semesters during which the student did not registered are treated as 

semesters that the student has taken leave. To process the request, all previous outstanding debts, status 

maintaining fee, and re-admission fee must be paid. Re-admission is approved by the rector. 

Refund of Fees 

1. The educational support fees are non-refundable. 

2. A student who withdraws a course owing to cancellation by the institute is entitled to a full refund of the tuition 

fee. 

3. A student who withdraws a course within the first 14 days of a regular semester (7 days for a summer session) is 

entitled to a half refund of the tuition fee. 

4. A student who withdraws a course after the first 14 days of a regular semester will not receive any refund for 

the tuition fee. 

5. A student who takes a leave by the first 14 days of a semester is entitled to a half refund of the tuition fee. 

However, if he/she takes a leave after the first 14 days of the semester will not receive any refund for his/her 

tuition fee, but need not pay a fee to maintain his/her student status. 

6. A student must apply for refund of his/her tuition fee within the first 30 days of the beginning of a semester. 

Regulations on the Use of the Library 

All students must observe the following Library's regulations: 

1. Students are entitled to check out no more than 4 books from the Library at any given time and they must return 

the books within 7 days, starting from the check-out date. 

2. Any student who returns a book(s) after the due date will be fined: 10 Baht/day per copy of book; 20 Baht/hour 

per copy of reserved book. 

3. Students must reimburse the Institute for the loss or damage of a book(s) they checked out from the Library. 

4. Eating, drinking, smoking, and excessive noise are strictly prohibited in the Library. 

5. Students are not permitted to remain in the Library after the service hours. For more details, consult the 

Librarian for the semester service hours. 

6. As a deterrent measure, violators will not be entitled to receive any services from the Library throughout the 

current semester. 

7. In the case that students do not return a book(s) within the due date and do not pay the fine for overdue books, 

they will not be allowed to check out any additional books or register in the following semester. 

Academic Performance 

1. The academic performance of students is evaluated using the grade point average (GPA) system. The following 

grades are used: 

Grade Point Significance 

A 4.0 Excellent 

B+ 3.5 

B 3.0 Good 

C+ 2.5 

C 2.0 Fair 

D+ 1.5 

D 1.0 Minimum 

F 0.0 Fail 

11



In some courses, such as Industrial Training, an S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) grade is given. These 

grades have no point values. Since these courses, though required, normally have no credits, they shall not 

be included in the calculation of the semester and cumulative grade point averages. 

The I grade may be temporarily given for courses where coursework has not been completed and it is not the 

student’s fault. Issuance of this grade is very rare and must be based on circumstances that are beyond the 

control of the involved student. An I grade must be removed within 90 days after the semester ends. 

Course withdrawals after the first two weeks but still within the first ten weeks are given the W grade. No 

withdrawals are permitted after ten weeks of a regular semester, except under special circumstances. 

2. A placement test of some courses can be substituted for a regular evaluation. A student whose placement test 

result is "Accredit" will earn the credits without studying such a course and his/her academic record will bear 

"ACC" which carries no grade point and will not be used in the calculation of the GPA. 

3. A student may retake a course which he/she received a grade of D or D+. All the grades received in the same 

subject will be used for the calculation of the cumulative grade point average, but the credits will be earned 

only once. 

4. An F grade will be counted as zero point and the course credits will be used for the calculation of both the 

semester and the cumulative grade point averages. 

5. A compulsory course with either an F or a U grade must be re-taken until a passing grade is obtained. 

6. A student may choose to re-take an elective course with either an F or a U grade or to take another course 

instead. 

7. Only courses that are given at least a D grade or an S grade or "ACC" are counted towards earned credit 

accumulation. 

8. In case a student is required to repeat a course or take another course as a substitute, the credit(s) of such a 

course will be accumulated only once. 

9. A student who misses an examination due to an uncontrollable cause must immediately submit evidences 

stating the cause of his/her obstacle to the instructor and his/her advisor for initial consideration. If the 

matter is deemed adequately logical and approved by the instructor, the instructor and the advisor will submit 

the matter to obtain the director's approval for arranging an appropriate process such as a make-up 

examination. If the matter does not receive an approval, the mark for the missed examination will be "0". 

10. The maximum time limit to complete a bachelor’s degree is 7 years. 

Warning and Probation Status 

1. The institute will evaluate the status of each student based on his/her academic performance at the end of 

every semester. Each student must maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 2.00, 

otherwise he/she will be issued a "warning 1", "warning 2", or "probation" status in the following semester, as 

appropriate. 

Grades of summer session are considered as parts of the second semester grades. However, for students who 

are dismissed at the completion of the second semester, their registration of the following summer session 

will be void. 

2. At the end of the first two semesters of his/her undergraduate study, the student must possess a CGPA of at 

least 1.50, otherwise he/she will be dismissed from the Institute. 

3. A "warning 1" status will be issued in the following semester if the CGPA falls below 2.00 for the first time. A 

"warning 2" status is issued in the following semester if a student is under the "warning 1" status and still 

cannot improve the CGPA to 2.00. 

4. If a student has a "warning 2" status and still possesses a CGPA below 2.00, he/she will be issued a "probation" 

status in the following semester which will be recorded in the student's academic record. 

5. A student under the "probation" status must improve his/her CGPA to at least 2.00 by the end of that 

semester. Otherwise, he/she will be dismissed from the Institute. 

6. If a student has completed all the courses required by the curriculum but his/her CGPA is below 2.00 but not 

less than 1.80, then he/she is allowed to continue taking courses for no more than 3 semesters (subject to a 

total time limit of 7 years for the entire enrollment) to improve the CGPA to 2.00. 

12

Chemical Engineering (ChE) 

Curriculum Outline 

Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that 

deals with the chemical and physical processes used to 

develop and make products such as pharmaceuticals, 

artificial organs, semiconductors, oil refineries, solar 

panels, clean water, and biocompatible polymers. 

Chemical engineers have made major contributions to 

the modern society. With the additional knowledge of 

biology, chemical engineers are devising new ways for 

living organisms to perform molecular transformation, 

and discovering new schemes for delivery of medicines 

to specific sites in the body. 

Chemical engineering program intends to prepare 

chemical engineers for life-long achievement through 

education in the principles of chemical engineering; to 

encourage development of communication, teamwork 

and leadership skills. 

The basic foundation in mathematics, chemistry, 

physics, and engineering is established in the first two 

years of the curriculum. A core of required Chemistry 

and Chemical Engineering courses is followed by a 

selection of electives. One group of electives will 

prepare a student to be a biochemical engineer, and 

another group to be an environmental engineer.

Civil Engineering (CE) 


The Civil Engineering Program aims to produce graduates 

with sufficient fundamental knowledge in broad fields, 

and at the same time with strong knowledge in a specific 

area. This will enable the graduates to serve the 

industrial sectors in Thailand where the need for 

specialists is increasing day by day. In this curriculum, 

four main areas of study are provided for selection. They 

are 1) general civil engineering, 2) infrastructure 

engineering, 3) construction management, and 4) 

building facilities engineering. 

The general civil engineering option gives emphasis to 

various major fields of civil engineering, which include 1) 

structural engineering, 2) concrete engineering, 3) soil 

and foundation engineering, 4) water resources 

engineering, and 5) transportation engineering. The 

other three options, though still concentrating on the 

above major fields, put more emphasis on different 

groups of civil engineering works related to 

infrastructure, construction management and building 

facilities. 

The total credits for major engineering subjects in all 

options are uniformly distributed to all five major fields, 

except for the field of structural engineering which has a 

slightly larger number of credits. For students in the 

infrastructure engineering, construction management, 

and building facilities engineering options, a few major 

courses provided in the general civil engineering option 

will be replaced by courses related to their respective 

fields. The differences between the four options of study 

will be from the second years of the curriculum. 

Further specialization can be achieved through the 

elective courses and the project. A practical training 

course is also provided to let students have a chance to 

practice civil engineering during their studies. In the 

practical training course, students will be placed in 

organizations that are related to their specialty in order 

to provide them with some practical experience in their 

specialized field. In this curriculum, it is possible for 

students to study their elective courses at other 

universities, including foreign universities, as exchange 

students during the final semester. With special 

arrangements, it will also be possible for students to 

have thorough practical training during the final 

semester.

Electronics and Communication Engineering (EC) 


Electronics and Communication Engineering are among 

the most challenging fields of study in electrical 

engineering. The areas of study in electronics and 

communication engineering are quite diverse. The 

curriculum is therefore developed to include many major 

study areas so that the student will be well prepared for 

work in the highly competitive electronics and 

communication engineering professions. 

The compulsory courses are designed to provide students 

broad knowledge in electronics and communication 

engineering, which is necessary to satisfy the general 

needs of the industrial sectors in Thailand. The 

compulsory courses include four laboratory courses in 

electrical engineering, which are provided to illustrate 

practical aspects of electric circuits, electronics, 

feedback control, signal processing and communication. 

By the end of the third year, the student will complete 

the study of most compulsory courses, except for courses 

related to seminar and senior project, which will be 

taken in the fourth year. 

After gaining sufficient basic knowledge through the 

compulsory courses, students can choose compulsory 

elective courses provided in three major areas: 

Communications, Electronics, and Mechatronics, in the 

fourth year. The Communications Area concentrates the 

study on advanced communication systems such as 

optical and mobile communication systems. While, the 

Electronics Area focuses on solid state technology, 

microelectronics and advanced electronic circuit design. 

Last, the Mechatronics Area provides fundamental and 

intermediate courses in mechatronics, robotics, and 

advanced control systems. 

In addition, courses for topics in communications are 

also offered as technical elective courses in order to 

cope with the rapid changing in technology and the 

highly diverse areas of study in communication 

engineering. During the last semester, students has 

options to go for an exchange abroad, to participate in 

extended training program with leading local companies, 

or to work on senior project with SIIT advisors.

Industrial Engineering (IE) 


Modern industrial engineering is a combination of basic 

engineering knowledge and quantitative analysis techniques to 

support managerial decision making. It is concerned with the 

efficiency in which work is performed by machines and people. 

Industrial engineers (IEs) use the information and techniques 

from physical, biological, mathematical, behavioral, and 

engineering sciences to plan, control, design, and manage 

complex manufacturing and business systems. Specifically, they 

utilize knowledge and principles in manufacturing systems and 

processes, operations research, ergonomics, and management in 

specifying, predicting, and evaluating the results obtained from 

such systems. 

The study of industrial engineering places emphasis upon 

developing the student’s abilities to analyze and design systems 

that integrate technical, economic, and social behavioral 

factors in manufacturing, service, social, and government 

organizations. This study leads to variety of professional 

opportunities in manufacturing industry, health care services, 

research and development, financial centers, public service 

enterprises, and business corporations. 

In order to accomplish these objectives, Industrial Engineering 

Program offers a curriculum that is specifically designed not 

only to distinguish itself from the curricula offered at other Thai 

universities, but is also at the standard comparable to those 

offered at renowned international universities. The IE 

curriculum offers courses that cover four major industrial 

engineering areas, namely, ergonomics/safety, operations 

research/quantitative analysis, management, and manufacturing 

systems. The offering of courses is carefully arranged so that 

those providing basic and fundamental courses are taught in the 

early years to build adequate technical background. Then, their 

applications are discussed in depth in courses presented in the 

later years. IE students can choose their preferred area of 

concentration, either “industrial engineering” or 

“manufacturing engineering,” in their third year. The 

industrial engineering option is suitable for students who like to 

pursue a career as an engineering consultant or system analyst 

for a business corporation or a graduate study either local or 

abroad after graduation. For those who like working with 

industrial equipment and machines and prefer the factory 

environment to the business office, the manufacturing 

engineering option will provide them with practical knowledge 

and experience to help them quickly adapt themselves to their 

work environment. 

In addition, IE students can also choose three optional tracks 

(Exchange track, Senior Project Track and Extended Industrial 

Training Track). 

- Exchange Track is designed for the students who wish to 

participate in the exchange program with foreign partner 

universities. 

- Senior Project Track is for the students who would like to 

conduct their projects under the supervision of IE faculty 

members. 

- Extended Industrial Training Track is designed for the 

students who would like to participate in the longer 

training period (for the whole semester) under the cooperative 

training program with industries.

Mechanical Engineering (ME) 


Mechanical engineering is concerned with the mechanisms of 

energy conversion and their utilization in all fields of industry, as 

well as in improving the quality of life for everyone. The 

mechanical engineering discipline has always been central to 

engineering. Mechanical engineers are involved in a wide range 

of technological activities which include: production, buildingfacilities, 

chemical processing, power generation, material 

science, mining and mineral extraction, transportation, 

aerospace engineering, and so on. For these reasons, all 

industries require the services of mechanical engineers. 

The aim of the Mechanical Engineering Program at SIIT is to 

provide an effective education to prospective engineers, giving 

them the ability to plan, administer and manage the latest 

technologies. Two main areas of study are emphasized in this 

program; these are: (1) General Mechanical Engineering, and (2) 

Energy Management. 

Engineering science is taught mainly in the first and second 

years. Specialized mechanical engineering courses are offered to 

the third and fourth year students. Additionally, fundamentals on 

electrical engineering and industrial practice are included in the 

undergraduate program in mechanical engineering. 

In order to serve industry competently, students have to be 

exposed to real equipment and processes. Two laboratory 

courses are required. An extended laboratory course is offered as 

an elective subject to senior projects, and guided by members of 

the teaching staff. 

As engineering students should obtain some experience of 

industry in order to learn the ways of industrial life and work, an 

industrial training course will be offered for mechanical 

engineering students. 

In addition, ME students can also choose one of the following 

three optional tracks: 

- Senior Project Track is designed for ME students who wish 

to conduct the project under the supervision of ME faculty 

members. 

- Exchange Track is designed for the students who wish to 

participate in the exchange program with foreign partner 

universities. 

- Extended Mechanical Engineering Training Track is 

designed for the students who wish to take the cooperative 

training program with industries.

Engineering Management (EM) 


The Engineering Management Program is designed for 

qualified individuals who plan to assume a management 

role in a technologically-based, project-oriented 

environment within a manufacturing, service, or 

government organization. It offers a course of study that 

combines the unique capabilities of industrial 

engineering, management, and information technology to 

yield a program that provides a focus on technological 

leadership through the integration of people and 

technology. 

Students are prepared for leadership roles in 

technologically oriented businesses through courses that 

present both the theoretical, and the technical and 

practical aspects of managing complex engineering 

projects. This enables students to understand and 

manage the complex interaction among people, 

technology, finances and the socio-political environment 

in which organizations operate. As a result, the program 

provides graduates with broad-based knowledge and 

quantitative analysis skills to succeed as managers, from 

project conceptualization through its implementation. 

After completing their third year of study, students are 

allowed to choose three different types of special studies. 

For more details on the academic options and special 

studies, consult the Program Coordinator.
