Bang once more! A resounding success has been achieved by students from the School of Engineering and Technology, Walailak University, as they secured an impressive tally of 3 awards at the inaugural Arau International Creativity Expo (ACE 2023) held in Malaysia.
Warmest congratulations extend to the bright minds enrolled in the Civil Engineering program. The School of Engineering and Technology at Walailak University emerged victorious, securing 3 prestigious awards at the 1st Arau International Creativity Expo (ACE 2023), scheduled from August 18th to 20th, 2023. This grand event brought together talents from across the globe, representing countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Korea, Taiwan, Bulgaria, and Chad.
The accolades earned by the students of Walailak University are outlined below:
- Novel Road Stud Reflector: WU-GiD Road Stud
This innovative luminous pin for road applications achieved a remarkable dual victory, clinching both the GOLD MEDAL AWARD and the distinguished WIIPA SPECIAL AWARD, a recognition bestowed by the private sector. The brilliant minds behind this achievement are:
- Ms. Prapatsorn Ritthikorn
- Mr. Musilhey Sa-Mae
- Mr. Alongkorn Prachoomrat
- Mr. Tayakorn Boonkaew
Guiding these exceptional students is Associate Professor Dr. Tanongsak Imjai.
- Novel Waffle Composite Wall
Another triumph emerged in the form of the Novel Waffle Composite Wall, garnering the prestigious GOLD MEDAL AWARD alongside medals and certificates. The ingenious contributors to this achievement are:
- Ms. Tippaporn Thongdej
- Ms. Pakjira Or-sai
- Mr. Wan Wildan Vayuso
- Mr. Kongdej Buanoi
- Mr. Adam Jae-ha
The adept guidance of Associate Professor Dr. Tanongsak Imjai fueled this impressive feat.
In essence, the Novel Road Stud Reflector: WU-GiD Road Stud is a groundbreaking luminescent pin designed to be affixed to roads, providing illumination during nighttime hours. Its manual glow feature replaces the conventional reflector pins, contributing to reduced road accidents. This innovation also heightens visibility for road users in poorly lit areas, negating the need for additional lighting infrastructure.
The Novel Waffle Composite Wall, on the other hand, is a pioneering composite wall that serves as a noteworthy alternative to traditional walls. With its exceptional heat dissipation, energy-efficient design, ease of construction, and remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, it effectively lowers internal temperatures compared to external conditions. Notably fire-resistant, it also boasts a cost advantage of 20% over lightweight bricks. Its suitability for industrial applications, such as condominiums and skyscrapers, where rapid and robust construction is paramount, underscores its significance.
These accomplishments stand as a testament to the remarkable innovation and dedication demonstrated by the students and their mentors, propelling the School of Engineering and Technology, Walailak University, to the forefront of creative excellence.
