KOSEN 

“Cultivating future engineers, technologists, and innovators, drawing in investment, and sharpening the competitive edge of the industrial sector in the region — via the implementation of KOSEN”

In 2019, the Ministry of Education tasked the Office of Basic Education Commission (OBEC) and the Institute for the Promotion of Science and Technology Teaching (IPST) with the project entitled ‘Cultivating future engineers, technologists, and innovators, drawing in investment, and sharpening the competitive edge of the industrial sector in the region — via the implementation of KOSEN’ (aka the establishment of THAI-KOSEN. Given the aim of advancing the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), the project sets out to drive up the number of research and innovation engineers in Thailand’s industrial sector with the emphasis on increased commercial manufacturing, in line with the Thailand 4.0 roadmap. The project was established under the cooperation between Thailand and Japan to develop human resources by implementing the concepts of KOSEN; which denote a Japanese instructional strategy geared towards instilling necessary skills in those receiving training to become engineers, technologists, and innovators. King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) assigned the responsibility to the Engineering and Science Classroom (ESC), which has ample experiences in orchestrating extra tutorials for students with exceptional performance in STEM subjects. ESC had initiated three programs: automation engineering, bioengineering, and agri(cultural) engineering. All three programs are taught using the ‘story-based learning’ approach which attests to educating learners through the process of storytelling. The ESC programs also focus on derivation of fundamental knowledge to encourage students to draw conclusions, come to an understanding, connect the dots, and apply the knowledge and skills obtained to analyze, design, and solve problems in engineering as well as in everyday life.
