The PSU Faculty of Engineering had the honor of receiving seven distinguished delegates from the Universitas Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr. Hamka (UHAMKA), Indonesia, led by Prof. Dr. Suyatno, President, on October 3, 2012. They were warmly welcomed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Charun Bunyakan, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering; Dr. Paphavee Thumrongsilapa, Assistant President for International Affairs and Foreign Students; and representatives from various faculty departments.
During their visit, they discussed several areas of possible collaboration between PSU and UHAMKA, such as: student and lecturer exchanges, joint programs, joint international seminars, research collaborations, and cultural exchanges, among others. Also, since the UHAMKA Faculty of Engineering was established just one year ago, our guests expressed their wish that PSU advise them and be a model for their young faculty.
The delegates also visited the PSU Pattani Campus on October 2, 2012, and signed the Memorandum of Understanding between our universities.
