| Abstract | The Chemical Engineering Practice School (ChEPS) at King Mongkut�s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) in Bangkok is a two-year international curriculum modeled after Massachusetts Institute of Technology�s School of Chemical Engineering Practice. The aim of this Master�s program is to produce professional chemical engineers with strong fundamentals, practical experience, and a good command of English. The program�s uniqueness lies in its strong linkage with the industrial sector. This chapter contains a history of ChEPS and details how KMUTT operates the program. The key factors contributing to the success of the program are identified. Moreover, critical analyses gleaned from the faculty, the alumni, and the industrial sponsors are carried out to examine the current strengths of ChEPS and to identify areas for improvement. Key challenges still facing the program are also outlined. Finally, potential solutions to these challenges are recommended. |
