RAILWAY SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (Sandbox)
Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Engineering Programs In Rail Systems Engineering
Master of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy Programs in Rail Systems Engineering
The Sandbox Program focuses on producing and developing highly competent personnel in collaboration with the industrial sector and research agencies to create new research or innovations.
Program Objectives:
- To produce and develop highly competent personnel in the rail industry with a comprehensive understanding of rail transport systems.
- To support the national development strategy that addresses the expansion of the rail industry in Thailand and at the international level.
- To promote collaboration between the industrial sector, educational institutions, and research agencies, enhancing the capacity to design, manufacture, operate, and maintain rail systems.
- To create research or innovations in collaboration with the government and the industrial sector.
Highlights of the Sandbox Program:
- Comprehensive learning of strategies to address problems and develop products/services that meet user needs.
- Emphasis on the integration of rail systems and subsystems (System Integration).
- Less core courses with more freedom to choose elective courses and more collaboration with industries.
- Students have more flexibility with a diverse selection of electives available to address research topics and accommodate varying knowledge backgrounds.
- Support continuous development to foster new research or innovation.
- Focus on collaborative projects with rail research institutions, government agencies, and rail industry stakeholders.
Core Courses:
- Rail Systems Engineering (Emphasizes the interfaces between rail subsystems)
- Advanced Research Methodology and Seminar (For Ph.D. students, focuses on conducting research with new contribution)
