Sustainable development technology

Multiple sciences, innovations and application of the scientific initiatives of His Majesty the King for sustainable development.

Program Description

The Sustainable Development Technology program applies the science of His Majesty the King and the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy as the foundation for the development of the program with integration of knowledge in various areas such as civil works and city planning, geo-information technology, agricultural systems and energy and environmental management. The knowledge and sciences of each field are applied to benefit local or community development and to build a foundation for the creation of new and essential innovations that are consistent with the contexts and needs of communities. In addition, skills in multiple sciences are proactively built to meet domestic and international labor demands in line with sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Upon graduation from this program, graduates will be able to work in the private sector, in state enterprises, or in the public sector in positions requiring personnel with knowledge and skills in four areas as follows:

• Civil works and city planning.

• Energy management.

• Information technology (remote sensing, geographic information systems, local database systems).

• Agricultural resource management.

Furthermore, management and integration subjects are available for skilled and proficient students in knowledge integration for systematic problem solving.

Internships or Cooperative Education

Students will receive opportunities for internships at leading organizations in the public and private sectors within the country and abroad that are part of the network of the Faculty of Science and Technology (internship takes place during the summer semester of the third year or at the end of the first semester of the fourth year) based on specialization to research four areas as follows: 

• Civil works and city planning
• Energy management
• Geo-information technology (remote sensing, geographic information systems, local databases)
• Agricultural resource management

Further Studies

Graduates can pursue further studies in many fields related to the four subjects of civil works and city planning, energy management, geo-information technology (remote sensing, geographic information systems, local databases), and agricultural resource management.

 Target Occupations After Graduation

Graduates of this program can pursue occupations in the public and private sectors in four areas as follows: 

• Civil works and city planning
• Energy management
• Geo-information technology (remote sensing, geographic information systems local databases)
