On 4 September, 2026, Asst Prof Dr Patamaporn Sripadungtham of the Department of Electrical Engineering led fourth-year regular-program electrical engineering students enrolled in the Seminar Course on an educational visit to Furukawa FITEL (Thailand) Co., Ltd., in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province.
The company is a leading organization in Furukawa Electric’s global telecommunications business. It manufactures components and equipment used in fiber-optic communication systems, such as optical communication and industrial lasers, laser transmitter modules, optical connectors, fusion splicers and wavelength stabilizers — essential parts of modern communications networks. The students received a warm welcome from Dr Sanguan Anantathanasarn, General Manager of Research and Development; Mr Pilan Tipiwat, Human Resources Manager; and their team, who shared valuable knowledge about manufacturing and component-assembly processes in the photonics industry.
The visit aimed to give students hands-on experience by learning in a real workplace, which will help to prepare them for their future careers. It also gave them an opportunity to exchange perspectives with experts in related industries, strengthening their professional skills and inspiring continuous self-development.
