Abstract

Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) is a newly established state university in Thailand. It is aimed at being the first fully autonomous one in the country. SUT´s management principle of centralized and shared responsibilities is implemented at the Center for Scientific and Technological Equipment (CSTE), such that centralized utilization of laboratory equipment can be achieved. This paper describes the organizational arrangement of the center and its management of laboratories for engineering education. Finally, a manufacturing process laboratory set up for 750 engineering students, and a fundamental electrical engineering laboratory set up for 500 non-electrical engineering students are exemplified, with managerial aspects emphasized
