AIT ranks top in four engineering areas on research in Thailand, study says

23 Jun 2010
AIT

In the recent official report received from TRF, AIT was rated
the highest among all Thai universities in these four engineering
subject areas: Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Information and
Communications Technology, Environmental Engineering and Management,
and Industrial Systems Engineering.

The TRF Rating is based on the weighted average varied from ‘five’ to
‘one’ of the following four factors: Equivalent international journal
papers per faculty member (weightage of 30 per cent); Journal impact
factor per faculty member (weightage of 20 per cent); Total equivalent
international journal papers for the entire subject cluster (weightage
of 30 per cent); and Total journal impact factors for the entire
subject cluster (weightage of 20 per cent).

Based on the above TRF criteria, AIT’s engineering fields of study
still received the highest overall rating in comparison with those
programs in Thai universities. This is despite the disadvantage of
AIT’s limited faculty size as a postgraduate institution.
 
The details reveal that in all cases AIT stands out in the two
“per-head” factors, implying the highest order of research productivity
and quality of its individual faculty members.
