I am an alumnus of Sripatum University, Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, code 49. I have liked mechanisms &amp; machines since childhood, so I chose to study vocational studies, Vocational Certificate and Higher Vocational Certificate. With a dream of becoming an engineer, I chose to study mechanical engineering at SPU because...<strong>It is a university that has a curriculum that supports people who have completed a vocational certificate, which is certified by the Engineering Council. The teachers teach in a fun way that can be applied to real work. <\/strong>  There are ready laboratories. The reputation of Sripatum University's engineering faculty made me believe that I would be successful. And I was right. (smiles)  <\/pre>\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>From the<\/strong> <span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">SP <u>U<\/u><\/span> kids <strong>of that day<br\/> <em><span style=\"color:#f5c02e\" class=\"has-inline-color\">&#8230;.follow your dreams<\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\"> <\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Engineers<\/span> <span style=\"color:#f5c02e\" class=\"has-inline-color\">in Japan today&#8230;.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n<p>I have to tell you that during my 3 years at SPU, the university let me join <strong>a Formula car viewing and even build a car for a race in the field while I was still studying.<\/strong> It was a great experience because I was able to use the knowledge from the classroom to design using a computer program, including engineering analysis, until I built a real racing car and took it to compete in a real race. After graduating from Sripatum University, I had the opportunity to study in Japan. Currently, I work as an engineer in the Research and Development Technology Department at &#8216;AIHO&#8217; in Japan.<\/p>\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>The path to obtaining <u><span style=\"color:#a36100\" class=\"has-inline-color\">a &#8220;Japanese Government Scholarship&#8221;<\/span><\/u><br\/><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-cyan-blue-color\">&gt;&gt;<\/span> <span style=\"color:#1673a2\" class=\"has-inline-color\">To study at the Tokyo Institute of Technology<\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-cyan-blue-color\">&lt;&lt;<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n<p>Thanks to the first step from <strong>SPU<\/strong> , I had the opportunity to receive <strong>a Japanese government scholarship (Monbukagakusho: MEXT)<\/strong> . There are 2 types of scholarships: apply through the Embassy of Japan in Thailand or apply directly through a university in Japan. I applied directly through a Japanese university. When I passed the qualifications, both GPA and language proficiency, I contacted a university professor in Japan to tell him that I was interested in doing research. Then, I emailed him to introduce myself to explain my research, attaching my skills and certificates I had received before presenting via an online meeting, which used English to answer questions. If the research content presented was interesting and I had enough basic knowledge to start, including my English and Japanese proficiency level, I passed with flying colors.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spu.ac.th\/engineer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/10\/20230919110350.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spu.ac.th\/fac\/engineer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/10\/20230919110350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.spu.ac.th\/fac\/engineer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/10\/20230919110350-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"> <strong>Who wants a scholarship to study at<\/strong><br\/> <strong><em><span style=\"color:#a36100\" class=\"has-inline-color\">&#8230;.Japan&#8230;.<\/span><\/em> Listen here!<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n<p>For those who are interested in pushing themselves to work as an engineer in Japan, there are 2 main types: apply in Thailand and study in Japan before applying for a job after graduation. I myself am the second type, which is to study for a master&#8217;s and doctorate degree in Japan. After that, apply for a job. Applying from Thailand is quite difficult. Normally, companies in Japan will accept those who graduated there because the applicants already know the Japanese lifestyle and customs. Initially, before starting work, I had 3 rounds of interviews: from the HR department to check communication skills, from the technology and research team to check engineering skills and problem-solving, and finally, an interview with the executives to check attitude and personality. The main thing I would like to recommend to you <strong>is to prepare your engineering knowledge (principles and application techniques) and Japanese communication skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Definition &amp; Properties<br\/> <em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">&gt;&gt;<\/span><u><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Of a good engineer<\/span><\/u><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">&lt;&lt;<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n<p>Engineers are creators, developers, and solve problems through analytical thinking processes to create the best technology and contribute to the greatest benefit to humanity. As for the qualities of engineering students, they must love calculations, like systematic thinking, like technology, are not afraid of difficulties, dare to make decisions, and have very good communication skills.<\/p>\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">\u201c<\/span> <span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Engineering<\/span> <span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">\u201d<\/span> work<\/strong><br\/> <strong>It&#8217;s not <u>beyond everyone&#8217;s ability,<\/u> <span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">trust me!<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n<p>Engineering is not too difficult <strong>if you are determined and eager to study. You may not need to like calculations, but you just don\u2019t hate calculations. Review your lessons often<\/strong> and set aside some time to study English. On the day you graduate, you must be able to answer what your strengths are. If you are interested in working in Japan, I recommend that you study hard and solidify your basics, and then come to study for a master\u2019s degree in Japan. There are currently many scholarships available. You can search for information. <strong>Don\u2019t forget to prepare your Japanese language skills. This will make studying and living in Japan even more enjoyable.<\/strong> \u201cDream big, be patient and determined. One day, it will be our day.\u201d I would like to encourage all of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior &#8220; A talented engineer&#8221; Share your experience of receiving a scholarship from the Japanese government.
