Program Overview

Program Description:

The programme of study covers basic engineering mathematics and general science, and the introductory engineering courses in mechanical and electrical engineering. The students also study a comprehensive suite of business courses including finance, accounting, economics and management. Specialization in the third and fourth years gives the students the choice of three attractive options: - Engineering Management - Thermal Systems Engineering - Robotics

Year One. The first two semesters (year 1) have been designed as a broad based curriculum suited to both the Applied Science and Engineering Faculty programmes. The subjects provide a grounding for all scientists and engineers, or to provide an engineering feel or perspective, of value to all students. These subjects include practical sessions to engender good working practices and skills in laboratories and computer suites. Laboratory safety is also a particular focus of attention in this early stage of the programme. The Communications Skills subject operates to improve the general use of English and to focus on those communication skills essential to the practicing scientist and engineer. Appropriate exemplar materials for this subject will be developed through close co-operation between the Language staff and the science subject specialists. Good use of English is considered to be an integral part of all subjects and a responsibility of every member of staff. Year Two Having chosen Mechanical Engineering as their “Major”, student start what are seen as the classic fundamental subjects, deepening the scientific rigour and giving the foundation for a breadth of studies that all use these most common of concepts. Students are also exposed to a much deeper content of Professional Engineering skills, both formally and informally, and continue in their maturity towards fully independent and life-long learning. Year Three The themes from the 2nd year are continued in the 5th semester (1st semester of the 3rd year). In the 6th semester (2nd semester of the 3rd year) a switch is made where students are exposed to a larger number of courses that allow for application of various concepts showing the true interdisciplinary nature of Engineering. This is facilitated through the Main Project Part A and the Design Make and Test courses, as well as the selection of Electives. Some electives may also allow for much deeper theoretical study in a specific field. Year Four The final year is dominated by the Design Project, giving the opportunity for students to apply their skills and knowledge in a more independent and creative mode of learning, and in many ways is regarded as the final test of their Engineering ability. Topics for the project will be sought and selected in collaboration with a Supervisor and may involve some degree of external collaborative work on the part of the student and Supervisor. The theme from the 6th semester continues, with more Electives. At this stage, the students are expected to operate almost entirely on an self sustainable and fully responsible basis.

Although large in campus size, Asian University is small in student numbers. In classes of less than 20 students, interaction is intense and studying is based on projects and cases. No chance to get a good grade for memorizing the textbook - our lecturers aim to make you understand as they do.

Setting Description:

You want to study in fresh air, surrounded by plenty of nature, in a relaxed and quiet environment, and in close interaction with your fellow students and lecturers within small groups? Welcome to Asian University! Established in 1997, Asian University is the first fully international university in Thailand. The university is located in Chon Buri province approximately 150 km from Bangkok, and a short 25 minutes drive from the beach resorts of Jomtien and Pattaya. In small classes with intense teacher-student interaction, innovative educational approaches like active learning, peer-to-peer instruction, and minimally invasive education are the rule, rather than the exception. The courses are taught in English. All lecturers were educated at western universities; about 80 percent are native speakers of English. Beyond their academic qualification, all lecturers draw from extensive practical experience. The university has all the facilities of a modern university, including dormitorie
