Developing new generation personnel: Towards cross-functional work in the digital age

Asst. Prof. Dr. Paichit Phawan, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Warisara Lertpaitoonphan, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, joined the seminar that brought the concept of integration between “Engineering” and “Architecture” as an important starting point in developing new generation personnel who not only need to be experts in their own fields but also need to understand how to work together at the professional level.

Cross-functional collaboration between engineers and architects is a key skill in the digital age. Both disciplines need to understand each other and apply digital technology to improve efficiency in work, from design, construction to project management.

Key skills to develop:

Communication and Teamwork

Understanding the work processes of each profession

The use of software and digital technology in design and engineering

Creativity and systematic problem solving
