History

Over the past decade, there has been a very rapid growth of Thailand's industries which has lead to a severe shortage of properly educated and trained personnel in sciences and engineering technology. Thammasat university, one of the nations most prestigious higher educational institutions, has recognized this fact and responded to the country's demand by establishing a group of sciences and engineering faculties situated on the new Rangsit campus, Pathumthani, since 1986.

The Faculty of Engineering was inaugurated on August 19, 1989 as the tenth faculty of the university. The first year of student admission was in 1990 to the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Industrial Engineering. In 1991, students were first admitted to the Department of Civil Engineering. A year later students were first admitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering and two years after that the students were first admitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

It is the intention of the Faculty to provide strong engineering education and training to the students.The curriculum, thus, places emphasis on both theory and practice. Students shall experience the working function of engineering fields by visiting and training in the industrial sectors compliant to their major disciplines. It is anticipated that graduates of the Faculty are well qualified to help develop appropriate technology to serve the country's need, as well as, possess the professional morality and ethics which will bring prosperity to our nation.
