Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology Thammasat University
During the 9th Japan-Thailand Joint Trade and Economic Committee Meeting held in Kobe, Japan in 1989, the delegates from the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations (Keidanren – now Nippon Keidanren) and the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) realized that in order to enhance industrial development of Thailand, engineering programs, where all lecture and laboratory courses would be taught in English by highly qualified faculty members with doctoral degrees, need to be established.
A cooperation agreement among Keidanren, FTI, and Thammasat University was reached in 1992 to establish bachelor degree programs in engineering at Thammasat University with initial funds provided by Keidanren and FTI. After two years of successful operation, the “International Institute of Technology (IIT)” was founded on September 16, 1994. Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the Cornerstone Laying Ceremony of a new building at the Rangsit Campus of Thammasat University, using part of the initial fund for the construction. His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand graciously granted the Institute a new name, “Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT)”, on June 28, 1996.
On October 2, 1997, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology’s Inauguration Ceremony of its name and building. In 1999, FTI provided a parcel of land with an existing building at Bangkadi Industrial Park for SIIT’s use for 30 years. In June 2001, the former Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun inaugurated a new building for technology programs at Bangkadi Industrial Park.
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously presided over the inauguration of the Sirindhralai Building of SIIT at Bangkadi on June 28, 2006.
Backgrounds of the three founding organizations of Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology are briefly described as follows.
Thammasat University
Founded in 1934, Thammasat University was originally dedicated to the teaching of humanities and social sciences. The University has produced a large number of graduates who have greatly contributed to the development and progress of the country.
Realizing the significant impact of science and technology on the country's economic growth, in the 1980’s and 1990’s Thammasat University initiated degree programs in engineering, technologies, physical sciences, and medical sciences at its Rangsit Campus, Pathum Thani.
The Japanese Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren)
Through the merger of several economic and industrial organizations, the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations (Keidanren) was established in August 1946. Keidanren was a private, nonprofit economic organization representing virtually all branches of economic activities in Japan. Keidanren maintained close contact with both public and private sectors at home and abroad, and endeavored not only to find practical solutions to economic problems but also to contribute to the sound development of the economics of Japan and countries around the world.
In May 2002, Keidanren merged with Nikkeiren (Japan Federation of Employer’s Associations) to become Nippon Keidanren (The Japanese Business Federation).
Headed by internationally distinguished leaders of the Japanese business community, Nippon Keidanren plays an active and influential role towards the achievement of harmonious economic prosperity for all mankind.
The Federation of Thai Industries
Formerly known as the Association of Thai Industries (ATI), the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) came into existence on December 29, 1987. It was a transformed body of ATI, which was created in 1967. FTI is an industrial private sector that brings together industrial leaders to promote Thailand's socioeconomic development. The main objectives of FTI are to represent Thai manufacturers at both national and international levels, to help promote and develop industrial enterprises, to work with the government in setting up national policies, and to offer consulting services to members.

FTI is a full-service organization that cooperates with the government to help mobilize Thai industries to reach international markets. It acts as a "matchmaker" between foreign industrialists and Thai resources which combine the financial strength, planning ability, and persuasive power of Thailand's industrialists.
Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology
Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT) offers undergraduate and graduate programs (master and doctoral levels) leading to the Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc), Master of Science (MSc), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the following areas: chemical engineering (ChE), civil engineering (CE), computer science (CS), electronics and communication engineering (EC), engineering management (EM), industrial engineering (IE), information technology (IT), management technology (MT), and mechanical engineering (ME).
SIIT also offers three international master of engineering programs, namely, Master of Engineering in Engineering Technology, Master of Engineering in Information and Communication Technology for Embedded Systems, and Master of Engineering in Logistics and Supply Chain Systems Engineering.
At the present time, the Institute has established both faculty member and student exchange programs with a number of universities in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. These programs allow not only faculty members to collaborate with their counterparts in research projects but also students to have an opportunity to take courses at those universities. Additionally, invitations to visit and teach SIIT courses are regularly extended to qualified foreign professors under such programs.
Although it is a unit of Thammasat University, SIIT is financially and administratively separate from the central university system. SIIT’s policies and operations are guided and supervised by the Board of Trustees which consists of representatives from Thammasat University, FTI, and Nippon Keidanren, and scholars appointed by the university. In addition, there are two academic committees – the Academic Rank Assessment Committee (ARAC) and the Academic Review Committee (ARC) – comprising reputable scholars in various fields. ARAC provides recommendations on rank promotions of faculty members. ARC provides guidance and recommendations on other academic and research matters. The Institute, headed by the Director, consists of administrative divisions, a library and information services center, five academic schools, and Department of Common and Graduate Studies (CGS).

If authorized by the instructor and the advisor, course withdrawal will result in one of the following cases: 2.1 If a course is withdrawn within the first 14 days of a regular semester (7 days for a summer session), the academic record will not bear the title of such a course. 2.2 If a course is withdrawn after the first 14 days (7 days for a summer session) but not later than the first ten weeks (4 weeks for a summer session) of a regular semester, the academic record will bear the title of such a course and a W grade. 2.3 Course withdrawal after the first 10 weeks of a regular semester (4 weeks for a summer session) is not allowed unless special permission is obtained from the director. With the approval from the director, the course will bear a W grade. 3. A withdrawal that reduces the number of credits to less than 9 credits is prohibited.
Leave and Suspension
1. A student can apply for a leave of absence. This must be approved by the director on the condition that the student has an appropriate reason. However, a student cannot take a leave during the first two semesters of his/her undergraduate study unless the Thammasat University Rector approves the request. 2. A student cannot apply for leave for more than two consecutive semesters unless the Rector of Thammasat University specially permits it. 3. A leave will result in one of the following cases: 3.1 If the first day of leave falls within the first 14 days of a regular semester, the academic record will not bear any of the titles of the registered courses. 3.2 If the first day of leave falls after the first 14 days, but no later than the first ten weeks of a regular semester, the academic record will bear W grades for all the courses registered in the current semester. 3.3 A student can apply for leave after the first ten weeks of a regular semester only if there is an uncontrollable reason. A student or a student's trustworthy representative is required to submit an application for leave with creditable evidence to the academic program. 4. A student who is suspended from studying during a semester due to disciplinary cause will not be permitted to take the final examination. This penalty will be recorded on the student's academic record. No grades or credits for the courses registered in the current semester will be given. A suspended student must pay a fee for maintaining his/her student status, unless he/she has paid the educational support fees. 5. A student who is permitted to take a leave or suspended before paying the educational support fees must pay a fee for maintaining his/her student status. 6.

Re-Admission
A student who has been dismissed for a reason other than academic performance, such as failure to register within the time limit of a semester or has not paid debt owed to SIIT, may request for re-admission by submitting a request to the Registration Division. If approved, the semesters during which the student did not registered are treated as semesters that the student has taken leave. To process the request, all previous outstanding debts, status maintaining fee, and re-admission fee must be paid. Re-admission is approved by the rector.
Refund of Fees
1. The educational support fees are nonrefundable. 2. A student who withdraws a course owing to cancellation by the Institute is entitled to a full refund of the tuition fee. 3. A student who withdraws a course within the first 14 days of a regular semester (7 days for a summer session) is entitled to a half refund of the tuition fee. 4. A student who withdraws a course after the first 14 days of a regular semester will not receive any refund for the tuition fee. 5. A student who takes a leave by the first 14 days of a semester is entitled to a half refund of the tuition fee.

Any student who returns a book(s) after the due date will be fined: 10 Baht/day per copy of book; 20 Baht/hour per copy of reserved book. 3. Students must reimburse the Institute for the loss or damage of a book(s) they checked out from the Library. 4. Eating, drinking, smoking, and excessive noise are strictly prohibited in the Library. 5. Students are not permitted to remain in the Library after the service hours. For more details, consult the Librarian for the semester service hours. 6. As a deterrent measure, violators will not be entitled to receive any services from the Library throughout the current semester. 7. In the case that students do not return a book(s) within the due date and do not pay the fine for overdue books, they will not be allowed to check out any additional books or register in the following semester.
Academic Performance
1. The academic performance of students is evaluated using the grade point average (GPA) system. The following grades are used:
Grade Point Significance A 4.0 Excellent B+ 3.5 B 3.0 Good C+ 2.5 C 2.0 Fair D+ 1.5 D 1.0 Minimum F 0.0 Fail
11 Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology Undergraduate Catalog 2011
In some courses, such as Industrial Training, an S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) grade is given. These grades have no point values. Since these courses, though required, normally have no credits, they shall not be included in the calculation of the semester and cumulative grade point averages (CGPA).
The I grade may be temporarily given for courses where coursework has not been completed and it is not the student’s fault. Issuance of this grade is very rare and must be based on circumstances that are beyond the control of the involved student. An I grade must be removed within 90 days after the semester ends.
Course withdrawals after the first two weeks but still within the first ten weeks are given the W grade. No withdrawals are permitted after ten weeks of a regular semester, except under special circumstances.
2. A placement test of some courses can be substituted for a regular evaluation. A student whose placement test result is "Accredit" will earn the credits without studying such a course and his/her academic record will bear "ACC" which carries no grade point and will not be used in the calculation of the GPA.
3. A student may retake a course which he/she received a grade of D or D+. All the grades received in the same subject will be used for the calculation of the cumulative grade point average, but the credits will be earned only once.
4. An F grade will be counted as zero point and the course credits will be used for the calculation of both the semester and the cumulative grade point averages.
5. A compulsory course with either an F or a U grade must be re-taken until a passing grade is obtained.
6. A student may choose to re-take an elective course with either an F or a U grade or to take another course instead.
7. Only courses that are given at least a D grade or an S grade or "ACC" are counted towards earned credit accumulation.
8. In case a student is required to repeat a course or take another course as a substitute, the credit(s) of such a course will be accumulated only once.
9. A student who misses an examination due to an uncontrollable cause must immediately submit evidences stating the cause of his/her obstacle to the instructor and his/her advisor for initial consideration. If the matter is deemed adequately logical and approved by the instructor, the instructor and the advisor will submit the matter to obtain the director's approval for arranging an appropriate process such as a make-up examination. If the matter does not receive an approval, the mark for the missed examination will be "0".
10. The maximum time limit to complete a bachelor’s degree is 7 years.
Warning and Probation Status
1. The Institute will evaluate the status of each student based on his/her academic performance at the end of every semester. Each student must maintain a CGPA of at least 2.00, otherwise he/she will be issued a "warning 1", "warning 2", or "probation" status in the following semester, as appropriate.
Grades of summer session are considered as parts of the second semester grades. However, for students who are dismissed at the completion of the second semester, their registration of the following summer session will be void.
2. At the end of the first two semesters of his/her undergraduate study, the student must possess a CGPA of at least 1.50, otherwise he/she will be dismissed from the Institute.
3. A "warning 1" status will be issued in the following semester if the CGPA falls below 2.00 for the first time. A "warning 2" status is issued in the following semester if a student is under the "warning 1" status and still cannot improve the CGPA to 2.00.
4. If a student has a "warning 2" status and still possesses a CGPA below 2.00, he/she will be issued a "probation" status in the following semester which will be recorded in the student's academic record.
5. A student under the "probation" status must improve his/her CGPA to at least 2.00 by the end of that semester. Otherwise, he/she will be dismissed from the Institute.
6. If a student has completed all the courses required by the curriculum but his/her CGPA is below 2.00 but not less than 1.80, then he/she is allowed to continue taking courses for no more than 3 semesters (subject to a total time limit of 7 years for the entire enrollment) to improve the CGPA to 2.00.
