FAQ
Q1: What is irrigation engineering?
- A1: Irrigation engineering is a specialized engineering program that is offered solely at Kasetsart University. The students will learn courses on soil-water-plant relationship, irrigation techniques, drainage engineering, hydrology, hydraulics, water resources planning and management etc. Besides they will learn all civil engineering courses as required by Council of Engineering of Thailand, including structural analysis and design, soil mechanics and foundation engineering, reinforced concrete design, steel and timber design, construction management, highways and etc.
Q2: How many degree programs are offering by the Department of Irrigation Engineering?
- A2: There are 3 degree programs namely 4-year Bachelor of Engineering in Irrigation Engineering, 2-year Master of Engineering in Irrigation Engineering and 3-year Doctoral of Engineering in Irrigation Engineering. The details of each curriculum are given in the Department website.
- For the undergraduate degree program, students requires to pass the minimum required course works and complete the senior engineering project before graduation.
- For the graduate degree programs, there are 2 options available. Option 1 requires that students have to pass the required course works and complete the thesis. Option 2 is the research program, no course works are required. Before graduation, the students must publish their research articles on the peer reviewed journals.
Q3: Careers Opportunity
- A3: Graduates will have opportunity to get good jobs on both the government and private sectors their works related irrigation design, water planning and management, civil works. Main government sectors required irrigation engineers are Royal Irrigation Department, Department of Water Resources, Metropolitan Water Works, Provincial Water Works, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. For the private sector, there are a lot of engineering consulting companies, civil engineering design and construction companies that require irrigation engineering graduates
