Environmental problems, both at regional and global levels, are mostly caused by infinite demands for better living. The effects of energy and environmental problems not only exist at the moment, but are also passed to the next generations. To overcome the present problems and be protective ofthe future, engineers and researchers, who are creative and ethical, with a solid background of advanced knowledges on sustainable energy, material, resources and environment, are required, to solve many technological issues.
Kasetsart University and SIIT, Thammasat University, under collaboration with the National Science and Technology Development Agency and Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, jointly offer a Master’s degree program in Sustainable Energy and Resources Engineering (SERE) to produce such highly qualified engineers. With a project-based learning approach under the supervision of professors and researchers from Thailand and Japan, the students in the program will be guided through a specifically-designedcurriculum, emphasizing the development of research skills. The program will also promote academic collaborations among higher education institutes, governmental agencies, and the industrial sector, in terms of research outcomes of the projects. These will lead to the global sustainability of energy, environmental and resources.
