AIT finalizes accord with Western Digital
AIT recently finalized an agreement for a master's degree program with Western Digital (Thailand) Company Ltd. (WD) as initiated by Dr. Nitin Afzulpurkar, Dr. Joydeep Dutta and Dr. Manukid Parnichkun to bring together industry, academia and government in the development of skills in this much needed high-tech sector. WD is now expanding its market share and manufacturing capacity.
To support the human resource development and knowledge creation in disk-drive technology, WD plans to collaborate with AIT by forming a partnership with the School of Engineering and Technology (SET) to train WD staff using a curriculum developed by AIT and WD. This program will be supported by the Hard Disk Drive Institute (HDDI) cluster at NECTEC.
