Message from Tokyo Tech Executive Vice President

Universities the world over are facing great challenges at present.

Many are confronting the rapid globalization of higher education and the

resulting competition between educational institutions. Universities are

being forced to reinvent themselves in order to survive the changing

global environment. This process of reinvention necessitates appealing

to and attracting top students from around the world to our home

institutions as well as fostering international exchanges.

Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) aims to be one of the world’s top-ranking

universities in the fields of science and technology through its constant efforts in research and

education. Nonetheless, there are limits to what a single institution can achieve. This opens

the door to the possibility of cooperating with other academic institutions. From this starting

point, Tokyo Tech has developed a strategy to create a worldwide network of universities in the

fields of science and technology, which will facilitate communication and the exchange of

ideas between students and scholars of different institutions.

Over the course of many years, Tokyo Tech has endeavored to build up strong ties and mutual

understanding with diverse Thai universities and institutions. The fruit of these flourishing

relationships is the founding of the TAIST–Tokyo Tech Program, established through the joint

cooperation of Tokyo Tech, NSTDA and other Thai universities. The aim of this program is

to nurture highly sophisticated human resources and to further the expansion of science and

technology in Thailand. Video conferencing and distance learning systems have been put in

place to effectively support Japanese professors in delivering lectures at TAIST-Tokyo Tech.

This program is the first joint graduate program between Thailand and Japan.

Tokyo Tech expects all graduates of TAIST-Tokyo Tech to play active roles not only in

Thailand but around the world.

We greatly appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely,

Message from NSTDA President A key mission of the National Science and Technology Development

Agency (NSTDA) is research and development, and in the years ahead

NSTDA is looking for more active engagement with the private sector in

terms of joint research. This was not only benefit NSTDA but the

country as a whole by adding value to traditional sectors such as

agriculture, by helping industry do things smarter, and by creating new

businesses through research and innovation.

As part of its effort to increase cooperation with the private sector,

NSTDA has been collaborating with a number of universities, both domestically and abroad, to

establish a “virtual graduate school” to meet industry’s rapidly growing demand for

post-graduate personnel. We consider this to be an important initiative which will complement

NSTDA’s overall mission of increasing R&D activities throughout the country in order to

transform Thailand into a new knowledge-based society.

NSTDA is very privileged to be able to conclude an agreement with the Tokyo Institute of

Technology (Tokyo Tech), King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL),

Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT), King Mongkut’s University of

Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and Kasetsart University (KU) to offer the first graduate

degree courses of this virtual university. We have agreed to start with two programs, one in

Automotive Engineering (AE) and the other in Information and Communication Technology

for Embedded Systems (ICTES) since over the past few years the demand for human

resources in these areas has been growing rapidly and will continue to increase.

It is my wish that this collaboration between the Thailand Advanced Institute of Science and

Technology and Tokyo Institute of Technology (TAIST-Tokyo Tech) will expand into new

disciplines which are of mutual benefit. I am therefore pleased to announce that in the coming

year, TAIST-Tokyo Tech will proudly launch a new program in Environmental Engineering in

which students will learn to address problems of environmental sustainability through the

application of scientific knowledge. Two of Thailand’s leading universities, Thammasat

University and Kasetsart University, will play a very active role in the delivery of this new

program.

NSTDA very much looks forward to the opportunity of working with the graduates of these

programs in our laboratories. These bright young scientists will no doubt help create an

environment conducive to the pursuit of knowledge.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all those of have helped bring this

1. Background

TAIST (Thailand Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) is based on the idea of

collaboration among NSTDA and partner universities in Thailand and a foreign institution to

develop the Thai human resources. TAIST will serve as a virtual institution and focal point.

NSTDA will provide researchers to act as adjunct professors, research projects and

scholarships for graduate students. A foreign institution or university will provide a world

class background, expertise and experience, academic instruction and research advice. Thai

universities will provide an academic frame work, academic staff to oversee and guide students

and degrees for the successful candidates. The viability of the idea is nicely demonstrated by

the creation of the first TAIST, namely TAIST-Tokyo Tech, with the cooperation of Tokyo

Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang

(KMITL), Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT), King Mongkut’s University

of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and Kasetsart University (KU). It is expected that several

similar collaborations will be established in the future.

The main objective of TAIST-Tokyo Tech is to establish an institution for human resource

development to foster and support world-class researchers and high-level engineers through a

combination of advising from Tokyo Tech professors, excellent facilities and research staff in

NSTDA, and established resources of Thai universities. At present, the participating

universities are KMITL, SIIT, KMUTT and KU; more universities from Japan and Thailand

are expected to join in the near future.

The structure of TAIST-Tokyo Tech is described in Fig. 1.

TAIST-Tokyo Tech aims to harmonize advanced technology with the environment and to

realize research and human resource development for global sustainable development.

Looking back at the history of modernization through industrial development, factors such as

global warming, abnormal weather and the pollution of air, water and soil indicate that there is

a real risk of serious destruction of nature and life in the near future. It is urgent for us to

recognize this paradigm shift in science and technology and concentrate our effort and

intelligence on technologies which are in harmony with the environment. In Thailand,

development and industrialization have been so drastic, compared with developed countries,

that problems derived from these factors are much more serious as they become obvious. In

light of such a situation, expanding research and education to harmonize advanced technology

with the environment effectively and efficiently will be quite necessary and the outcome of

such effort will be valuable not only for Thailand, but also other countries of the world.

The establishment of this joint graduate program will be a

historical step for Tokyo Tech, which aims to be one of

the top science and technology universities in the world.

The first phase in creating this program is the exchange of

academic staff and students according to agreements set

forth by two institutions. The second phase is to

facilitate lectures accredited in recipient universities

through a distance education system as has already been

conducted in both Thailand and the Philippines. The

third phase is to establish an internationally cooperative graduate institute as well as to conduct

HRD through education and researches. Many European and Australian universities are quite

active not only in terms of accepting foreign students, but also in providing education in

overseas campuses. The establishment of TAIST-Tokyo Tech is extremely important since

Tokyo Tech is now coming onto center stage, and with joint cooperation between Tokyo Tech

and Thai partners, TAIST-Tokyo Tech will become a similarly prominent institution.

The TAIST-Tokyo Tech project will maintain a competitive edge over those of western

countries by mobilization of whole institutional resources based on long history of education

and research of Tokyo Tech, NSTDA, KMITL, SIIT, KMUTT, KU and other participating

universities. Tokyo Tech and TAIST-Tokyo Tech share the same philosophy of education and

research - “HRD by promoting cutting-edge research activities”. It is expected that

TAIST-Tokyo Tech will initiate the start of a positive spiral of human resource development

system in Asian region.

3-3. Master of Engineering Program in Information and Communication Technology for

Embedded Systems (ICTES)

In today's world, embedded systems are everywhere -- homes, offices, cars,

factories, hospitals, plans and consumer electronics. Those key

technologies are to bring us a true ubiquitous society. Their huge

numbers and new complexity call for a new design approach based on

understanding of system design on computational platforms, one that

emphasizes algorithm design, platform design, hardware/software

tradeoffs and real time design rather than low-level assembly-language

programming and RTL or logic design.

An embedded systems designer needs to be a multidisciplinary engineer

with software programming skills and a broad background in electronic

engineering. They must know how to implement procedures

to control the target system effectively. In addition to that, the important element in an embedded

systems engineer’s career is the ability to manage projects of various complexities. The 1st year

study of TAIST, ICTES program has launched in such a best environment that the advanced

academic education is provided by either intensive lectures or distance learning leaded by a

group of novel professors in Tokyo Inst. of Tech, supported by Thailand Sirindhorn International

Institute of Technology (SIIT) and Kasetsart University (KU) professors. (Please refer a subject

list of the course study) In addition, the practical research on ICTES has been performed as a

project of National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC), NSTDA, advised

by TIT and Thai University Professors and NECTEC researchers.

Professional engineers are involved in creating the technology demanded by society to cater for

its needs in consumer goods, medical equipment, transportation, communication and industrial

tools. Graduates of ICTES program are likely to be employed in a diverse range of industries

with a higher salary. Those, who want to study professional research, may enter into PhD

courses in either Tokyo Institute of Technology, or Thai universities.

3-4 Master of Engineering Program in Advanced and Sustainable Environmental

Engineering (EnvE)

Environmental problems, both regional and global levels, are mostly

caused by the infinite demand for human’s better living, by increasing

of technological development and inventions. The effects of

environmental problems are not only existed at the moment, but also

passed to the next generations. To overcome the present problems and

be protective for the future, engineers and researchers, who are creative

and ethical, with a solid background of advanced knowledge on

sustainable environment, are definitely required. There exist so many

technological issues, which can be solved only by them. Therefore,

Kasetsart University, the National Science and Technology Development Agency and Tokyo

Institute of Technology, Japan, propose a Master Program in Advanced and Sustainable

Environmental Engineering to produce such the engineers. With a project-based learning

approach under the supervision by professors and researchers from Thailand and Japan, the

students in the program will be guided through a strong academic curriculum specifically

designed, emphasizing on researching for assigned projects. The program will also promote the

academic collaborations among the higher education Institutes, Governmental Agencies, and

Industrial sector, in term of research outcomes of the projects. These will lead to the

environmental sustainability, national and worldwide.
