The College of Engineering is dedicated to the internationalization of teaching and research. Nowadays, Thailand’s economy and higher education cannot be ignored due to the economic growth of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Therefore, Dean Wang and Prof. Huang arranged visits at six universities in Thailand through Prof. Voratas Kachitvichyanukul of AIT (Asian Institute of Technology). The College of Engineering hoped to build international collaboration with the famous and highly recognized universities in Thailand, including the signing of the MoU for student exchange and dual degree. 

Thammasat University’s College of Engineering visited Tunghai University’s College of Engineering and signed a MOU (memorandum of understanding) contract on March 6, 2014. Dr. Prapat Wangskarn ( the dean of Thammasat University’s College of Engineering) and Dr. Wang (the dean of Tunghai University’s College of Engineering) represented to sign the contract.
