On Saturday, January 27, 2024, the Mechanical Engineering and Robotics program at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Walailak University, held the Open SET 2024 event to welcome 60 students from the 4th year of high school at the Triam Udom Suksa School. The event aimed to promote the program, introduce the curriculum, showcase modern teaching methods, laboratories, and extracurricular activities that enhance students’ learning experiences.
This event was organized under the guidance of Assistant Professor Dr. Bantheng Srikan, the head of the Mechanical Engineering and Robotics program, along with the teaching staff and support team. The participants had the opportunity to visit and explore various laboratories, including the Robotics Lab, where they observed advanced tools and equipment used for learning about robotics and automation control systems. They also visited the Mechanical Lab, where students are trained in designing and testing mechanical components. Additionally, they explored the CNC Lab, where high-precision machines are used to produce various parts, and the Welding Lab, where students learn the techniques for welding different materials for engineering applications.
The Mechanical Engineering and Robotics program is one of the undergraduate courses offered at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, covering both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for modern industries. In addition to the Mechanical Engineering and Robotics program, the faculty also offers a range of other programs, including Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Computer Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, Civil Engineering, and Petrochemical and Polymer Engineering.
The Open SET 2024 event not only served to introduce the programs and activities but also helped students understand the value and opportunities available in the field of engineering. Engineering is a highly sought-after field in the job market, making it a popular choice for students in the university entrance process. This event allowed students to gain a deeper understanding of the context of various engineering disciplines and prepared them to make informed decisions about their future academic paths.
Ultimately, this event aimed to inspire high school students to realize the importance and potential of studying Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, helping them to confidently decide on their future educational paths according to their abilities and interests.
