On November 5, 2026, the School of Engineering at the University of Phayao, led by Assistant Professor Dr. Wassana naku, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs and Quality Assurance, warmly welcomed a delegation of 48 Grade 11 students enrolled in the Science–Mathematics Programme, along with their teachers, from Varee Chiangmai School. The visit was organised as part of an educational field trip designed to enrich students’ learning experiences beyond the classroom. The welcoming session took place in Seminar Room EN4406 at the University of Phayao.

During the visit, students were introduced to the School’s academic programmes, teaching and learning approaches, and pathways to higher education in engineering disciplines. The session aimed to enhance their understanding of university-level education while broadening their perspectives on the roles and responsibilities of professional engineers and the diverse career opportunities available in the engineering profession.

In addition, the visiting students and teachers toured the Intelligent Control Systems Learning Facility EN4106 and the Industrial Engineering Laboratory Building, where they gained first-hand exposure to engineering learning environments, advanced technologies, operational systems, machinery, and technical equipment. Throughout the tours, students received explanations of fundamental operating principles, practical applications, and the integration of machinery into manufacturing processes and industrial operations. These hands-on learning experiences enabled them to develop a clearer understanding of the connections between scientific knowledge, mathematical principles, and technological innovations, as well as their practical applications in engineering.

The visit also provided an important opportunity to strengthen educational networks and foster collaborative relationships between secondary schools and higher education institutions. Furthermore, it served as a platform to promote greater awareness of the School of Engineering’s academic programmes, educational resources, and teaching capabilities, thereby enhancing the visibility of the University of Phayao as an institution committed to advancing engineering education and inspiring future generations of engineers.
