The Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) were developed and revised based on feedback from a wide range of stakeholders involved with the program. These stakeholders include Thammasat University (missions and vision), SIIT (missions and vision), the Engineering Council (Industrial Engineering, Thailand), industry and business users of graduates, alumni, current students and their parents, prospective students and their parents, high school students from leading Thai schools and international schools in Thailand, high school students from other countries, high school guidance teachers, as well as faculty members and staff of the program.

Stakeholders from industries (Table A) expect the Industrial Engineering and Smart Logistics (IESL) program at Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology to produce graduates with strong fundamental knowledge and practical skills in industrial engineering and logistics. Graduates are expected to apply their knowledge to solve real problems, work effectively in companies, and require minimal additional training. They should also gain hands-on experience through internships or work-integrated learning to better understand real working conditions, use real data, and adapt to the workplace.

In addition, companies expect graduates to be creative, able to improve processes, reduce costs, and develop better systems. Strong communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and responsibility are also essential, especially in international work environments. With changing technology, students are also expected to have basic knowledge of data analysis, automation, and Industry 4.0 concepts. Companies also prefer close collaboration with the program through projects, research, and consultancy, and expect the curriculum to stay aligned with industry needs, including sustainability and environmental responsibility. The program is seen as a key source of job-ready graduates who can help reduce training time and improve company efficiency.

After structuring the PLOs in a proper format, the IESL program academic staff organized an online meeting with stakeholders (Figure A) to discuss and confirm the outcomes. Since PLOs represent the intended goals of the program, while IESL students are those working to achieve them, the PLOs are also printed and displayed throughout the IESL workplace to ensure easy access and clear understanding. This helps students, particularly the third-year students who are the first group under the new curriculum, better understand and apply the PLOs in their studies and learning experience (Figure B).

The PLOs are also presented to second-year IESL students during registration to help them understand and prepare for the IESL program (Figure C). To support prospective high school students who may be interested in joining the IESL program in the near future, the PLOs are also introduced during laboratory and IESL office visits (Figure D). 

Fabrinet

Fabrinet is a multinational electronic and optical manufacturing services company based in Thailand. It was founded in 2000 and is a major contract manufacturer for high-tech industries.
