Report
In recent years international compatibility and quality of education especially engineering education is sought for, against a backdrop of economic and societal globalization. In Republic of Indonesia and Kingdom of Thailand - leading members of ASEAN - as well, efforts are being made for quality as well as quantity improvements of engineering education in the light of industrial development of the countries in Asia.
This seminar was planned to share experiences of Indonesian and Thai efforts for enhancing international compatibility, competitiveness and quality of engineering education and deepen discussions on the matter with participants.
In this seminar, we invited Dr. Satryo Soemantri (Visiting Professors of Bandung Institute of Technology and TUT-ICCEED, Former Director General for Higher Education, Indonesia) and Dr. Chongrak Polprasert (Director and Professor, Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT), Thammasat University, Thailand).
