Course content
Successful students in this global project based learning course will acquire integrated capacity of problem-solving, which is required when they work as a member of an international and/or interdisciplinary team, through synthetic problem solving experience in (Cross-cultural Engineering Project) CEP based on multi-cultures and multi-discipline. Through this experience, students would be triggered by setting their own theme selected from suggested keywords by the lecturers, then exposed to hands-on experience on “Systems thinking”, “Systems Method”, and “Systems Management”. The CEP is designed as an engineering educational program based on system thinking, and is held in three area.
- Glocal problem at KMUTT in Thailand,
- Industrial & community cooperative at SIT in Japan,
- Innovative creation at FCT/UNL in Portugal.
Finally, the credit is obtained by studying CEP of one area.
Purpose of class
To acquire integrated capacity of problem-solving, which is required when they work as a member of an international and/or interdisciplinary team, through integrated problem solving experience in CEP course.
Goals and objectives
  1. Can acquire the synthetic problem solving capability to be internationally attractive.
  2. Can acquire concepts and technologies on “Systems thinking”, “Systems Method (Engineering Method)”, and “Systems Management”.
  3. Can acquire a capability of work as a member of an international and/or interdisciplinary team.
