Following the signing of an MOU between the Faculty of Engineering and Japan Overseas Development Corporation (JODC), a training course on “Japanese Organizational Culture” was organized to develop students’ potentiality as required by entrepreneurs, especially Japanese. The program was successful in 2009. Therefore, in 2010, the Faculty opens the course, “Manufacturing in Japanese Organization,” by inviting an expert from Japan, Mr. Moriro Kushiyama, a representative from JODC as a guest lecturer to co-teach with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ratchapol Santiwarakorn. JODC also supports scholarships for 15 students whose academic performance is very good in this subject to make a study trip to entrepreneurial venues and academic institutions in Japan. The trip is scheduled in March, 2011, and it is expected to bring benefits to the students who will be able to apply this experience in their future.
