Real world Problem based learning
The university's core strategy adjustment focuses on students' professional skills. As a result, the College of Logistics and Supply Chain has to improve teaching and learning that meets the university's core strategy. The college focuses on developing professional skills to meet the needs of entrepreneurs. One thing that drives the new teaching and learning model is the agencies affiliated with the college and the public and private sectors. We adapt our subjects and teaching methods together with external agencies, emphasizing real-world practice in real-life situations.
The starting point is to set up a problem that arises within the company, then let the students solve the problem along with the company with the professor as a co-mentor. Learning styles can be divided into three styles.
1. Formulating problems from real situations
ABS Company and SCG Skill Development are the worldwide logistics company. They sent a lecturer to the GPS Tracking course. Students will understand the truck tracking system and transportation monitoring. Problems from the company will be sent as case studies of students in that classroom. Everyone must address the issues that arise from each group's point of view, such as reducing transportation costs, reducing driving accidents, and routing transportation. From the problems mentioned earlier, students must study problems and solutions by combining the theory learned with GPS technology. The results of this study and project will be presented for the company to solve the problem. Students will learn how to use technology in the real world and gain experience that will enable them to work in logistics companies.
2. Real Business Monetization
Do Day Dream Public Company Limited is a beauty business that imports products from abroad. The company is developing a fulfillment warehouse and increasing sales via E-commerce in Thailand. The company has a professional marketing manager to teach online business students. Speakers educate sales through various platforms such as Facebook Live, Tiktok, and Youtube. The company and the college jointly organize a campaign to review the company's products and earn money for students when people view and buy products online. This learning approach stimulates student study and earning money while studying.

3. Research work to solve real problems
BS Express Co., Ltd. is a nationwide delivery company. The company has participated in teaching land transport courses. The speakers educated the transportation system of Thailand and how to manage trades of various sizes, which are the company's strengths. However, the company encounters one problem that should be solved. That is the cost of shipping. Students and lecturers who participated in this course had to research the analysis of the company's transportation costs for each product. Teamwork and logistics cost calculation by Excel program are therefore used. Each team spends three months analyzing costs and solving problems. The results will be used to write articles to present at national and international conferences. These research are considered to be innovative research at the undergraduate level and create real solutions.
