Congratulations to the students from the Chulalongkorn University High Altitude Research Club (CUHAR) for winning 3rd Place in the 30K COTS category at the International Rocket Engineering Competition 2025 (IREC 2025), held in Midland, Texas, USA, from June 9–14, 2025. . In the 30K COTS category of the competition, the University of Canterbury team won the first prize, and the University of Melbourne team the second among qualified 144 world-class aerospace engineering institutes including the University of California at Berkeley, Purdue University, University of Texas at Austin, and Seoul National University. . The competition grand challenges reflects students’ aerospace engineering skills to design and develop a high-performance rocket capable of operating effectively in unpredictable atmospheric conditions. Moreover, the rocket featured a precise and reliable tracking system capable of accurately identifying its location. This achievement marks another milestone in the pursuit of high-quality education and advancement in aerospace technology. . We would like to express our gratitude to the generous sponsors for their tremendous support for our students. 1. Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University 2.

On June 5, 2025, the Faculty of Engineering at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), hosted the International Senior Project Conference 2025 (ISPC 2025) in Bangkok, Thailand. . Two teams of the Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, won the Best Presentation Awards. The first team, including Mr. Isoon Chanchongkham, Mr. Prarunchai Ruttanaprasert, and Mr. Teerawat Riensuwon (Undergraduate students in the Industrial Engineering Program), presented their engineering project, “Finding the Building Fire Evacuation Strategy Improvement through Agent-based Simulation.” Their research is supervised by Assoc. Prof. Natt Leelawat, D.Eng. (Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University), and Dr. Jing Tang (Lecturer at the International School of Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University). They explored the use of simulation modeling to optimize fire evacuation strategies and enhance emergency preparedness. . And the second team, including Mr. Napat Leewiboolsip, Mr. Phasinth Srinutapong, Mr. Pitipat Fongsarun (Undergraduate Students in Information and Communication Engineering Program), Mr. Alfan Kurnia Yudha (Ph.D. Student in Industrial Engineering Program), Dr. Kumpol Saengtabtim (Postdoctoral researcher), presented their engineering project “ESG-driven Portfolio for Long-term Investment with Machine Learning.” Their research is supervised by Dr. Jing Tang (Lecturer at the International School of Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University) and
