  6. SET Graduates Differentiation Our Graduates vs. Others • Our graduates are educated to: • see the world as a whole • connect to the real world • communicate ideas well to diverse groups • recognize social/economic/political context of engineering practice. • develop self motivation for life-long learning

  7. SET: The thematic areas SET School of Engineering and Technology • INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS GROUP • INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM ENGINEERING GROUP • CIVIL & INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERING GROUP

  8. SET: Fields of Study • INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS GROUP • Information and communications reflect the essential importance of access, connectivity and sharing. This collaboration on the creation of relevant knowledge provides economic opportunity and empowerment for all peoples of the region. • Computer Science (CS) • Information Management (IM) • Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (RS-GIS) • Telecommunications (TC) • Information and Communications Technologies (ICT)

  9. SET: Fields of Study • INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM ENGINEERING GROUP • For several decades, AIT has served the development of the region by equipping young engineers with high-tech knowledge required for working in a complex industrial environment. Since its inception, the Industrial Systems Engineering (ISE) program at AIT has contributed to this mission by focusing on industrial competitiveness and innovation for sustainable growth of the region. ISE program acts as an umbrella for four fields of study: • Design and Manufacturing Engineering (DME) • Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) • Mechatronics (MEC) • Microelectronics (MIC)

  10. SET: Fields of Study • CIVIL & INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERING GROUP • Since the start of AIT, civil engineering fields have acted as a catalyst in advancing modern methodologies, emerging technologies and innovative materials for the design and construction of safe and economical infrastructure in the region. • Construction, Engineering and Infrastructure Management (CEIM) • Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering (GTE) • Structural Engineering (STE) • Transportation Engineering (TE) • Water Engineering and Management (WEM)
