The Preparation and Empowerment Program for the World of Chemical Engineering.

On 14–15 May 2026, the Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University, organized the “Preparing and Equipping Students for the World of Chemical Engineering” program to prepare fourth-year students from both the Thai and International Programs for their future careers in the field of chemical engineering.

As part of the program, students participated in an industrial visit to Siam Kraft Industry Co., Ltd., a large-scale manufacturer of pulp and packaging paper products. During the visit, students gained hands-on insights into real industrial processes, including raw material preparation, pulp production processes, utility systems within the plant, as well as energy and environmental management practices in the industrial sector. This experience enabled students to clearly understand the practical application of chemical engineering knowledge in industrial-scale production.

In addition, the program included leadership and teamwork development activities, as well as an experience-sharing session by alumni of the Department of Chemical Engineering, aimed at inspiring students and preparing them to become professional chemical engineers in the future.

The students also participated in a CSR and environmental conservation activity, “Crab Releasing to the Sea,” at the Khao Takiab Blue Swimming Crab Bank in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, to promote social responsibility and environmental sustainability awareness.

This program served as another important activity in strengthening students’ knowledge, practical experience, life skills, and positive relationships among students, faculty members, staff, and alumni of the Department of Chemical Engineering before embarking on their professional careers with confidence and quality.
