King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) is a leading research and educational institution and one of Thailand’s leading universities. It is in the city of Bangkok, Thailand.
KMITL was founded in 1960 in Nonthaburi province as a telecommunications training center under the technical support of the Japanese government; the center was later named the Nonthaburi Institute of Telecommunications. After moving to a new location at Lat Krabang near Suvarnabhumi Airport, the campus became King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang.
Engineering began at KMITL in 1960 with a course on telecommunications engineering. In 1982 KMITL launched the nation’s first doctoral degree in electrical engineering and awarded a doctorate in electrical engineering to Dr. Chom Kimpan, who also earned the first Doctor of Engineering granted by a Thai university. More recently KMITL has partnered with Thailand Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, a joint effort among Tokyo Institute of Technology, Thailand National Science and Technology Development Agency, KMITL and SIIT to offer international Master’s degree in Automotive Engineering. From its inception up, KMITL has grown to include seven faculties and affiliated research centers.
