Engineering Students Present Social Engineer Skills Project for Local Development

On 24 September 2026, student representatives from the Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Technology participated in a presentation activity titled “Applying Social Engineer Skills for Community Development,” under the project to promote Social Engineer Skills for local development among student leader groups.

The students presented their project, “Decoding the Cultural Identity of Wat Sawat Warisrimaram Community through Packaging Illustration Design.” The activity was organized by the Student Development Division at Worralaknanong Conference Room, 3rd Floor, Student Development Division, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University.

The project aimed to encourage students to apply their knowledge and Social Engineer Skills in working collaboratively with communities. It emphasized hands-on learning through Multidisciplinary Active Learning, using local community development as a foundation through a Social Lab-Based approach. The initiative also promoted collaboration among students from different faculties and disciplines, lecturers, and local wisdom holders to jointly analyze and address area-based issues.

The program seeks to develop essential student competencies, including critical thinking, communication, coordination, and community innovation. It also promotes the use of data and systematic reasoning in problem analysis, with particular emphasis on primary data and analysis through the M.I.C. Model. This enables students to design development approaches that genuinely align with the context and needs of each community.

Furthermore, the project fosters participation between students and community members by shifting students’ roles from “providers” to “co-drivers of development.” Community members are encouraged to take part in thinking, designing, and co-creating innovations, leading to sustainable community development that can become self-reliant and continuously expanded.
