Special BU International Life Section In the modern, global age, a university education needs to be more than just classes and lectures. Students are now seeking opportunities to gain 24 International Programs in THAILAND & ASEAN Vol.11 experience both inside and outside of the classroom. This means that higher education institutions should no longer view students as empty vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge. Instead of focusing on book learning alone, universities need to develop opportunities for students to gain experiences that will lead to professional advancement and personal development. Bangkok University International has positioned itself to provide such opportunities to students through its commitment to creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and internationalization. Creativity isn’t just a slogan for us. These values embedded in Bangkok University’s culture influence everything we do. Our faculty and staffs, as well as our students, commit to this mindset as enhancement to their lives at BU International and beyond. One way BU International can provide experiences for our students is by recognizing that higher education isn’t an individual activity. It is a social activity that builds off of others’ experiences, knowledge, and skills. Nowadays, students do not isolate themselves in corners of the library studying lecture notes. Students group together, looking for ways to connect with others, learn from others, and discover their unique talents. Our students seek to collaborate in their studies as they work together to tackle current industry issues through problem-based learning. Whether it’s working on a real-life project with a company in the state of the art Media Lab or on a problem in the simulated environment in the Tourism Tower, BU International students can master the approaches of solving industry problems while going through a process of self-discovery, instead of just being told what to do.

Bangkok University embraces creativity as the means for success in life. We Life at Bangkok University International leads students believe that a creative environment allows students for growth and development. With on journey of experiences and discoveries in creative the guidance for their professors, students are encouraged to try out new or innovative environment.

Along with have gained knowledge, developed skills, and applied them creativity, we encourage our students to have an entrepreneurial spirit. To succeed towards reaching their professional ambitions and potential, creatively, students need to take risks and assume ownership for the success of their BU International’s graduates are creative entrepreneurs ideas and activities. Our creative classrooms provide a safe environment in which ready to contribute their developments to a global industry. students can be successful in their journeys of self-discovery. Our goal is to enable our students to become responsible visionaries with agility in thought and action, while developing excellence and trust in the professional arena, both domestically and internationally. Bangkok University is well positioned internationally. Our faculty and students come from over 50 different countries. We believe that diversity is a catalyst for the creativity of our students. Our students naturally learn to view the differences between people, countries, and cultures as opportunities for growth and development, not as obstacles to be overcome. The innovative solutions that might not have been thought of if they had just stayed with others similar to themselves. This isn’t always an easy process, but students who stick with it will advance in both their social and personal abilities as well as create life-long connections with people and experiences from around the world. In fact, our faculty serves as a role model to our students for international collaborations. Many student and cultural exchange programs also provide valuable opportunities to study at leading partner universities around the world. International Programs in THAILAND & ASEAN Vol.11 25

We also welcome “outside in” ideas, proposed by the community and partners to be initiated as objective- oriented research and promote industry collaboration. Our researchers and students can engage with businesses and work in the field through talent mobility programs, or invest in their own startups with the support of the university. We support their drive with entrepreneur courses, workshops and activities on our campuses all year round, and have created co-working and maker spaces, “MaSHARES”, with equipment like 3D printers, so that students can take their ideas to the next level by developing prototypes. We are creating a seamless innovation roadmap to dynamically facilitate entrepreneurial activities among students, staff and researchers in collaboration with our government and industrial partners. Mahidol University is committed to supporting Thailand as it becomes a leading nation for innovation and entrepreneurship. 26 International Programs in THAILAND & ASEAN Vol.11

KMUTNB to launch its first satellite KNACKSAT into orbit in 2018 KMUTNB launched its own first satellite KNACKSAT into orbit. Professor Dr. Suchart Siengchin, President of KMUTNB, presided over a press conference held on the Main Campus of KMUTNB to announce a plan to launch its own first satellite KNACKSAT into orbit. The research team is headed by Prof. Dr. Suwat Kulthanapreeda. Other members of the research team include Dr. Pongsatorn Saisutjarit, Asst. Prof. Dr. Suramate Chalermwisutkul and students of KMUTNB involved in the design and construction of KNACKSAT. KNACKSAT (standing for King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok Academic Challenge of Knowledge SATellite) is a cube-shaped satellite measuring 10x10x10 cm3 with a total mass of approximately 1 kg. The miniature cube-shaped satellite uses amateur radio frequencies for its data transmission between the ground and the satellite station. KNACKSAT is funded through a research funding program called Broadcasting and Telecommunications Research and Development Fund for the Public Interest, managed by Office of The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). KNACKSAT is the first Thai satellite designed and built domestically by a team of Thai researchers and Thai students of a Thai university. The success of the KNACKSAT project serves as a good example of how much potential Thailand has for the area of satellite engineering as well as the design and development of other space technologies, and also proves that Thailand is now well-prepared and ready for the ever-growing space industry, which can potentially open up new opportunities for Thailand in the foreseeable future.

Special Message from the Dean Section The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce has always played a significant role in the grooming of talented students that will help to shape the economy of our 32 country. The world economy has geared towards globalisation at a tremendous speed. Understandably, as we entered this era of dynamic development, we have to spearhead a restructuring programme that will elevate the university standard and be recognised as a leading university in business education in Asia. Globalisation, along with communication technology, has brought the world closer than ever before. Motivated by forces of internationalisation, our trade, industries, businesses and management now require a labour force that is equipped with higher specialised skills. The diffusion of innovation in trade means that our students must understand more about foreign culture, customs, religion, languages and ideas so as to be ready for the real business world. It is therefore important that we foster an international environment within our university. UTCC is ready to welcome all of you with a promise of delivering an extraordianry experience and a touch of Thai hospitality. Sincerely yours, Jakarin Srimoon, Ph.D. Dean

Message from Associate Dean for Academic Affairs As the world has become more connected, higher education institutions, such as ours, have acknowledged this change and the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) has geared itself towards being an outstanding member of the global community. Apart from providing students numerous opportunities to pursue quality educational programs both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, we also thrive to offer extraordinary experiences to all students by fostering an international and multicultural environment where students can cultivate lasting friendships, business networking, innovative entrepreneurship, leadership, and a strategic mindset. We encourage all of our students to initiate business ideas with innovation in mind and put these into practice. Our ultimate goal is to produce future business leaders as well as global citizens, who can make positive and lasting contributions to their respective community, country, region and the world.

ASEAN Education

Asean Educati on ASEAN University Network The ASEAN Gateway on Higher Education Introduction The initiative to establish AUN dated back to the year 1992 when the leaders of ASEAN Countries called for cooperation in the field of higher education and human resource development during the 4th ASEAN Summit. Then, the idea of establishing AUN gradually materialized and the Charter of the ASEAN University Network was signed by the ASEAN Ministers responsible for higher education in 1995. Since then, AUN was established with the AUN Secretariat located in Bangkok and in 2008 it becomes one of ASEAN Sectoral Ministerial Body. Since its establishment, AUN has been a prime mover of regional cooperation in higher education. The network operates on cost-sharing basis 40 International Programs in THAILAND & ASEAN Vol.11

which is the one of the essential parts of a set of unique shared value and belief system that help the network reaches a number of visible achievements to date. AUN’s activities rapidly expand to cover from university policymaker level to faculty staff and student level both with the region and be- yond. The AUN’s network of cooperation also con- tinuously expands through various AUN Thematic Networks, which essentially are the sub-net- work of specific field of cooperation. These Thematic Networks are the AUN’s attempt to promote wider cooperation in the region in specific disciplines and topics. International Programs in THAILAND & ASEAN Vol.11 41

In terms of organisational structure.The structure can be categorised into 3 levels. 1) AUN Board of Trustees (AUN-BOT) servers as policy-making body. 2) The implementing level, AUN Member Universities participate and implement the programmes and activities under AUN. 3) The AUN Secretariat serves as coordinating and monitoring body. The AUN Secretariat works closely with the member universities in cooperation with dialogue partners and is periodically being reviewed and monitored by the AUN-BOT. AUN Member Universities Currently, AUN has 30 Member Universities from 10 ASEAN Member States Reporting At regional policy level, AUN has directly participates in and reports to the Senior Official Meeting on Education (SOM-ED), ASEAN+3 Senior Official Meeting on Education (SOM-ED+3), ASEAN Education Ministers Meeting (ASED), and ASEAN+3 Education Ministers Meeting (APT EMM). In these four levels of policy meeting, AUN reports its progress and contribute its input and initiative to the meetings. In addition, the works and progress of AUN activities are also being reported to ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council (ASCC) and ASEAN Coordinating Council (ACC) through the ASEAN Secretariat. Having considered the AUN’s organizational structure and lines of responsibility, it is undoubtedly an efficient flow of cooperation which allow flexible access to any working schemes thanks to its autonomous management and implementation that directly complement to the ASEAN Socio Cultural Community blueprint. This function, in return brings forth the continuous growth of higher education cooperation and enrich stupendous engagement of educational sector into the ASEAN community building process. The existence of AUN in the ASEAN Charter is thus an assessable advantage towards the development of regional education platform that can only be achieved through a recognition of and support by the ASEAN leaders and other policy forums responsible for ASCC and higher education in ASEAN.
