Microelectronics, semiconductors, and printed circuit boards (PCBs) are strategic industries critical to national economic and high-technology advancement. Through the Faculty of Engineering, Burapha University joined a national collaboration agreement with government agencies, industry associations, and a network of universities to advance research, innovation, and workforce development aligned with future industry needs.
This initiative supports the Faculty’s vision—“Leading Industry-Oriented Engineering Faculty in the East”—and contributes to strengthening Thailand’s long-term technological capability in a sustainable manner.
Project Coordinator: Faculty of Engineering, Burapha University
Objectives:
- To build research and innovation collaboration in microelectronics and semiconductors
- To develop talent and upskill personnel aligned with national priority industries
- To promote knowledge transfer and shared use of academic resources
- To strengthen the national industry and technology infrastructure sustainably
Program Activities:
The project was launched through a formal signing of an academic collaboration agreement with key partners: the Thai Semiconductor Industry Trade Association, the MHESI Permanent Secretary’s Office, the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), and 19 network universities. The agreement defines cooperation in research, workforce development, academic activities, knowledge transfer, and shared support for data, space, tools, and equipment to advance microelectronics development at the national level.
