Abstract

Thailand is a growing country in terms of both the number of workers and its economic expansion. However, Thailand's workers may bey have specific skills in the profession, below the expectations of entrepreneurs. Therefore, the needs for skilled workers in vocational education are a national plan of the office of the Vocational Education Commission. To produce and develop the workforce in professional, skill level, technical and technological levels, including vocational training to enhance knowledge and vocational skills training to improve the labor market in the industry. In this study, we have developed a curriculum design cooperating with the establishment in an industry with applying outcomes-based learning approach for students in Mechatronics and Robotics program. It focuses on managing each course to create pieces that correspond to industrial skills, especially manufacturing. Provide students opportunities to develop skills solutions, joint operation, communication, build self-confidence and create a positive learning outcome. © 2021 Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education.
