- RATIONALE
- It is generally agreed that Thailand is in
the process of technological and industrial development. Such development
needs large number of computer engineers and engineering managers
who are capable of conducting deep research in the said areas. As
of 1991, no governmental university is offering any Ph.D. program
directly in the field of Computer Information Systems or Computer
and Engineering Management. Ph.D. program being offered are in the
related-area of engineering but the number of graduates is not sufficient.
- Assumption University does realize the importance
and necessity of producing Ph.D. graduates in the mentioned fields.
With the experience in offering the Master programs in Computer Information
Systems(CIS), and Computer and Engineering Management (CEM), AU had
decided to seek approval to offer Ph.D. programs in CIS and CEM. These
programs will contribute to national and social development of Thailand
by producing highly qualified personnel to help in training more computer
and engineering managers and educators as well as researchers.
