Strengthening cooperation between West Coast Engineering Company Limited and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) extending the period of signing an MOU on research to create benefits in business operations. and sustainable educational development.

Mr. Kittisak Mapanao, Managing Director of West Coast Engineering Company Limited or WCE, said that WCE initiated a research and development cooperation project with King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). Since August 15, 2019, the main objective is to exchange knowledge. and personnel among However, the progress of operations during the past cooperation projects. There have been many obvious results, for example:

Project support of mechanical engineering students Undergraduate WCE provides engineering information support. along with supporting the sample pieces until the project objectives were achieved. For mechanical engineering students at the master’s degree level on the topic “Fracture Mechanism of High-Speed ​​railway Wheel” and the latest activity, WCE has coordinated with the State Railway of Thailand. The Makkasan Factory brought students to visit the maintenance of various parts used for trains The main objective of the visit was to study the coupler parts, disassembly, and damage. in order to use the data for further research projects for students Create benefits for students to build on a lot of knowledge

Mr. Kittisak Mapanao added that besides the success of the cooperation in many projects in the past, WCE still has significant project plans with King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) to help create student to have a body of knowledge, for example, the “Container Bogie Manufacturing Process Development” project will study Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Underframe, Static Load Test Underframe, and a research and development project for strength testing machines. The train structure Application of Multi -3D Digital Image Correlation technology, etc.

Finally, Mr. Kittisak Mapanao said that the power of cooperation between West Coast Engineering Company Limited and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) will continue. Our Awakening the power of cooperation toward mutual sustainability goals by extending the MOU for another 3 years, starting from August 16, 2022, until August 15, 2025
