1. Course introduction

      Faculty of Science and Technology was established in 1986. It is the first faculty of Thammasat University established at Rangsit Campus and the first higher education institution in Thailand that offers teaching in the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), Computer Science Program (Formerly known as Computer Science). In the first phase of teaching and learning, there was an admission program in B.Sc. in Computer Science. It is the course with the highest entrance examination scores in the country. In the category of sciences, there were 5 subjects (except biology exam) with academic strength and market demand in 1994. Therefore, teaching and learning were expanded in a special format which was open during the evening and on Saturday and Sunday in the academic year 2014. Computer Science Program has expanded its teaching to Thammasat University, Lampang campus to provide opportunities for computer science and information technology to students in the northern region. All program participants with an average GPA of 2.00 and above will receive full scholarships from Khun Boonchoo Treethong for the duration of the study. This is his intention to help developing graduates who are knowledgeable in computer science. The course implementation at Lampang campus in the first two versions is still being taught at Rangsit campus. Until the academic year 2016, Faculty of Science and Technology established a laboratory and received a rate of support, which began to open science courses, basic mathematics and statistics as per the curriculum comprehensively. Therefore, all courses are offered at Lampang campus.

      Currently, courses of the Faculty of Science and Technology are opened at Thammasat University, Lampang Campus. There is one course, Bachelor of Science Program, Computer Science Program, revised for students in 2018 B.E., at Lampang Campus. They will study technology for learning which is a specialized course for the production of computer scientists with expertise in managing learning technology in the new digital age. The subject is completed with basic artificial intelligence and data science. Students can choose to study undergraduate courses in three specializations, namely liberal subjects, minor subjects, engineering and software management and minor subjects in data science. The highlight of the program is a new type of graduate education that integrates knowledge and practical skills, in collaboration with the establishment, both in the form of cooperative practice and project preparation. Students can graduate within the 3 and a half years of study.

      The administration and quality control of the curriculum is customized for Lampang Campus and supervised by the Department of Computer Science at Rangsit campus under the faculty program with experienced and expert scholars. There is ongoing implementation of the curriculum quality assurance system in the academic year 2018. The curriculum has been evaluated by the Bureau of Standards and Assessment (Higher Education) with a score of 3.5 out of 5, which means the course implementation is of high quality.
