Sirindhorn International Institute of TechnologyUndergraduate Catalog 2004Sirindhorn International Institute of TechnologyThammasat UniversityDuring the 9 th Japan-Thailand Joint Trade and Economic Committee Meeting held in Kobe, Japan in 1989, thedelegates from the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations (Keidanren – now Nippon Keidanren) and theFederation of Thai Industries (FTI) realized that in order to enhance industrial development of Thailand, it wasrecommended that engineering programs, where all lecture and laboratory courses would be taught in English byhighly qualified faculty members with doctoral degrees, be established.A cooperation agreement among Keidanren, FTI, and Thammasat University was reached in 1992 to establishbachelor degree programs in engineering at Thammasat University with initial funds provided by Keidanren and FTI.After two years of 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 anew building at the Rangsit Center of Thammasat University, using part of the initial fund for the construction.Then, on June 28, 1996, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand graciously granted the Institute a newname, “Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT).”On October 2, 1997, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the SirindhornInternational Institute of Technology’s Inauguration Ceremony of its name and building. In June 2001, the formerPrime Minister Anand Panyarachun inaugurated a new building for technology programs at Bangkadi Industrial Park.In 2003, a building for administration and training at Bangkadi Industrial Park was inaugurated.Backgrounds of the three founding organizations of Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology are brieflydescribed as follows.Thammasat UniversityFounded 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 andprogress of the country.Realizing the significant impact of science and technology on the country's economic growth, in the 1980’s and1990’s Thammasat University initiated degree programs in engineering, technologies, physical sciences, and medicalsciences at its Rangsit Center, Pathum Thani.The Japanese Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren)Through the merger of several economic and industrial organizations, the Japan Federation of EconomicOrganizations (Keidanren) was established in August 1946. Keidanren was a private, non-profit economicorganization representing virtually all branches of economic activities in Japan. Keidanren maintained close contactwith both public and private sectors at home and abroad, and endeavored not only to find practical solutions toeconomic problems but also to contribute to the sound development of the economics of Japan and countries aroundthe world.In May 2002, Keidanren merged with Nikkeiren (Japan Federation of Employer’s Associations) to become NipponKeidanren (The Japanese Business Federation).Headed by internationally distinguished leaders of the Japanese business community, Nippon Keidanren plays anactive and influential role towards the achievement of harmonious economic prosperity for all mankind.The Federation of Thai IndustriesFormerly known as the Association of Thai Industries (ATI), the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) came intoexistence on December 29, 1987. It was a transformed body of ATI, which was created in 1967. FTI is an industrialprivate sector that brings together industrial leaders to promote Thailand's socio-economic development. The mainobjectives of FTI are to represent Thai manufacturers at both national and international levels, to help promote anddevelop industrial enterprises, to work with the government in setting up national policies, and to offer consultingservices to members.1

Sirindhorn International Institute of TechnologyUndergraduate Catalog 2004FTI is a full-service organization that cooperates with the government to help mobilize Thai industries to reachinternational markets.

The followinggrades are used:Grade Point SignificanceA 4.0 ExcellentB+ 3.5B 3.0 GoodC+ 2.5C 2.0 FairD+ 1.5D 1.0 MinimumF 0.0 Fail11

Sirindhorn International Institute of TechnologyUndergraduate Catalog 2004In some courses, such as Industrial Training, an S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) grade is given. Thesegrades have no point values. Since these courses, though required, normally have no credits, they shall notbe 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 thestudent’s fault. Issuance of this grade is very rare and must be based on circumstances that are beyond thecontrol 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. Nowithdrawals 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 testresult 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 samesubject will be used for the calculation of the cumulative grade point average, but the credits will be earnedonly once.4. An F grade will be counted as zero point and the course credits will be used for the calculation of both thesemester 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 courseinstead.7. Only courses that are given at least a D grade or an S grade or "ACC" are counted towards earned creditaccumulation.8. In case a student is required to repeat a course or take another course as a substitute, the credit(s) of such acourse will be accumulated only once.9. A student who misses an examination due to an uncontrollable cause must immediately submit evidencesstating the cause of his/her obstacle to the instructor and his/her advisor for initial consideration. If thematter is deemed adequately logical and approved by the instructor, the instructor and the advisor will submitthe matter to obtain the director's approval for arranging a make-up examination. If the matter does notreceive 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 Status1. The institute will evaluate the status of each student based on his/her academic performance at the end ofevery 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, asappropriate.Grades of summer session are considered as parts of the second semester grades. However, for students whoare dismissed at the completion of the second semester, their registration of the following summer sessionwill be void.2. At the end of the first two semesters of his/her undergraduate study, the student must possess a CGPA of atleast 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 stillcannot 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 thatsemester. 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 notless than 1.80, then he/she is allowed to continue taking courses for no more than 3 semesters (subject to atotal time limit of 7 years for the entire enrollment) to improve the CGPA to 2.00.12

Sirindhorn International Institute of TechnologyUndergraduate Catalog 2004Civil Engineering (CE)Curriculum OutlineDetails of the CurriculumThe Civil Engineering Program aims to produce graduateswith sufficient fundamental knowledge in broad fields,and at the same time with strong knowledge in a specificarea. This will enable the graduates to serve theindustrial sectors in Thailand where the need forspecialists is increasing day by day. In this curriculum,four main areas of study are provided for selection. Theyare 1) general civil engineering, 2) infrastructureengineering, 3) construction management, and 4)building facilities engineering.The general civil engineering option gives emphasis tovarious major fields of civil engineering, which include 1)structural engineering, 2) concrete engineering, 3) soiland foundation engineering, 4) water resourcesengineering, and 5) transportation engineering. Theother three options, though still concentrating on theabove major fields, put more emphasis on differentgroups of civil engineering works related toinfrastructure, construction management and buildingfacilities.The total credits for major engineering subjects in alloptions are uniformly distributed to all fiveaforementioned major fields, except for the field ofstructural engineering which has a slightly larger numberof credits since it is in the nature of industrializingcountries, where construction of infrastructure isessential for supporting economic growth, that plenty ofstudy concerning structures and construction is provided.For students in the infrastructure engineering,construction management, and building facilitiesengineering options, a few major courses provided in thegeneral civil engineering option will be replaced bycourses related to their respective fields. Thedifferences between the four options of study will befrom the second year of the curriculum.Further specialization can be achieved through theelective courses and the project. A practical trainingcourse is also provided to let students have a chance topractice civil engineering during their studies. In thepractical training course, students will be placed inorganizations that are related to their specialty in orderto provide them with some practical experience in theirspecialized field.Structure and Components1.

Sirindhorn International Institute of TechnologyUndergraduate Catalog 2004Industrial Engineering (IE)Curriculum OutlineThe curriculum is administered by the Industrial EngineeringProgram. Modern industrial engineering is a combination of basicengineering knowledge and quantitative analysis techniques tosupport managerial decision making. It is concerned with theefficiency in which work is performed by machines and people.Industrial engineers (IEs) use the information and techniquesfrom physical, biological, mathematical, behavioral, andengineering sciences to plan, control, design, and managecomplex manufacturing and business systems. Specifically, theyutilize knowledge and principles in manufacturing systems andprocesses, operations research, ergonomics, and management inspecifying, predicting, and evaluating the results obtained fromsuch systems.The study of industrial engineering places emphasis upondeveloping the student’s abilities to analyze and design systemsthat integrate technical, economic, and social behavioral factorsin manufacturing, service, social, and government organizations.This study leads to variety of professional opportunities inmanufacturing industry, health care services, research anddevelopment, financial centers, public service enterprises, andbusiness corporations.In order to accomplish these objectives, Industrial EngineeringProgram offers a curriculum that is specifically designed not onlyto distinguish itself from the curricula offered at other Thaitechnical institutions, but is also at the standard comparable tothose offered at renowned international universities. The IEcurriculum offers courses that cover four major industrialengineering areas, namely, ergonomics/safety, operationsresearch/quantitative analysis, management, and manufacturingsystems. The offering of courses is carefully arranged so thatthose providing basic and fundamental courses are taught in theearly years to build adequate technical background. Then, theirapplications are discussed in depth in courses presented in thelater years. IE students can choose their preferred area ofconcentration, either “industrial engineering” or“manufacturing engineering,” in their third year. Theindustrial engineering option is suitable for students who like topursue a career as an engineering consultant or system analystfor a business corporation or a graduate study either local orabroad after graduation. For those who like working withindustrial equipment and machines and prefer the factoryenvironment to the business office, the manufacturingengineering option will provide them with practical knowledgeand experience to help them quickly adapt themselves to theirwork environment.Structure and Components1.

Sirindhorn International Institute of TechnologyUndergraduate Catalog 2004Mechanical Engineering (ME)Curriculum OutlineMechanical engineering is concerned with themechanisms of energy conversion and their utilization inall fields of industry, as well as in improving the qualityof life for everyone. The mechanical engineeringdiscipline has always been central to engineering.Mechanical engineers are involved in a wide range oftechnological activities which include: production,building-facilities, chemical processing, powergeneration, material science, mining and mineralextraction, transportation, aerospace engineering, andso on. For these reasons, all industries require theservices of mechanical engineers.The aim of the Mechanical Engineering Program at SIIT isto provide an effective education to prospectiveengineers, giving them the ability to plan, administerand manage the latest technologies. Two main areas ofstudy are emphasized in this program; these are: (1)General Mechanical Engineering with Applied Mechanicsand Thermal Engineering, and (2) Mechatronics.The Mechatronics option in the ME Program has beenrecently established in order to provide even bettercareer opportunities for ME graduates. Graduates fromMechatronics will be equipped to be effective andskilled engineers, as required by the industries.Engineering science is taught mainly in the first andsecond years. Specialized mechanical engineeringcourses are offered to the third and fourth yearstudents. Additionally, fundamentals on electricalengineering and industrial practice are included in theundergraduate program in mechanical engineering.In order to serve industry competently, students have tobe exposed to real equipment and processes. Twolaboratory courses are required. An extended laboratorycourse is offered as an elective subject to seniorprojects, and guided by members of the teaching staff.As engineering students should obtain some experienceof industry in order to learn the ways of industrial lifeand work, all students have to spend at least 240 hoursin industry after the sixth semester. An industrialtraining program will be organized for mechanicalengineering students.Structure and Components1.

Sirindhorn International Institute of TechnologyUndergraduate Catalog 2004J’Mechatronics (MC)Curriculum OutlineThe term "Mechatronics" was originally coined bycombining the words mechanism and electronics.Although the term mechatronics may not be familiar tonon specialists, mechatronic systems are ubiquitous intoday’s technological society, embedded in itemsranging from household appliances totelecommunication satellites and industrial robots. Amechatronic system is typically made of conventionalmechanical parts (pneumatic systems, electric motorsand other actuators, mechanical linkages, etc.) tightlyintegrated with electronic circuitry. A mechatronicsystem may include microprocessors, thereforesoftware development is part of mechatronic design.The main role of the software is control, to ensure thatall the requirements of the mechatronic system aremet.Mechatronics can thus be regarded as a disciplinewhich combines knowledge from electrical engineering,mechanical engineering, information technology andcontrol engineering. Mechatronic graduates need notbe experts in all these fields, but they possesscompetence in these areas to be able to discuss andcoordinate with specialists from these disciplinesduring the design and development of mechatronicdevices/systems.The mechatronics curriculum at SIIT covers thefundamental scientific and technology subjects in thefirst two years, together with an introduction to themechatronics discipline. In the following two years,students study various in-depth courses andlaboratories related to the aforementioned disciplines.Free and technical electives also give students anopportunity of widening their knowledge in their areasof interest. Courses in social sciences and humanities,as well as law and management, contribute to theformation of a leading engineer and/or researcher,endowed with invaluable interpersonal skills.The wide job opportunities for mechatronics graduatesinclude the design of mechatronic devices/systems andimplementation of products and system in hightechnology sector of the industry.Details of the Curriculum1.
