This program emphasizes hands-on learning experiences through cooperative education with industry partners. ADTH expressed keen interest and offered valuable insights from an industrial perspective to help KMUTT tailor the curriculum to effectively meet the needs of the industry and cultivate highly skilled professionals for Thailand’s semiconductor sector. Additionally, both parties discussed potential collaboration in practical training subjects to further advance knowledge development. ADTH also extended an invitation to KMUTT to participate in showcasing student internship projects at its upcoming Open House in November 2025. This event aims to introduce semiconductor technology to interested students.
