History
The Department of Electronics Engineering is part of the School of Engineering. It was founded in 1976, after the School of Engineering itself was founded in 1974 and moved from its original site at the Nonthaburi Telecommunication College to Ladkrabang, where — together with the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Agricultural Technology — it formed the Ladkrabang campus of King Mongkut's Institute of Technology. Under the policy of the dean at the time, Assoc. Prof. Koson Petchsuwan, the electronics department was separated from the telecommunication department, in the same year that His Majesty the King opened the first “Phra Chom Klao Ladkrabang” academic exhibition and the Electronics Research Center.
At first the department shared the Administration and Research Building with the Department of Telecommunication, with Prof. Dr. Pairash Thajchayapong as its first head. It later moved to Building B, where it remains today. In 1998 the department separated its graduate teaching from the Master of Electrical Engineering program and began offering the master's degree “Master of Engineering Program in Electronics Engineering” to produce graduates with specialized expertise.
Later, in 2000, the department began offering the “Master of Engineering Program in Microelectronics Engineering”, followed by the “Master of Engineering Program in Biomedical Electronics Engineering” in 2005.
In research, the department was the first institution in the country to research solar cells, lasers and solid-state devices. Today it offers specialized teaching in electronics engineering at the forefront of the country, with internationally recognized work in many electronics-related fields, and produces quality engineers at the bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels. With 30 faculty members and 5 academic support staff, it is a department whose people and work have brought the institute great recognition, and it is also the largest electronics engineering department (by number of faculty and students) in Thai higher education.
