My name is Dawrong Praditphausa, the international student from Thailand ,who
want to apply in Master of Science in E.T. Engineering of Germany University on
the second semester 2003.
I graduated from Thailand university with Bachelor degree in ET engineering .
After Graduation ,as the requirements of my major , I was assigned to work at
ABC company for put the training period such as 6 months. Later on ,Igot a
permanent job at DEF company ,www.def.com and I am currently working until
present. My ambition is to enhance my profession in the field of ET engineering
by integrating my working experience and further study inadvanced level . I
have been spending my free time other than company working hour to do self-
study on the facets of E.T.. However , the opportunity of advanced knowledge in
this field is very limited in Thailand. The best optionfor me is to seek further
education oversea. I, therefore , applied to youruniversity in Master of Science
in ET Engineering of Technology.
Thereason and study plan ,I want to learn in your university. Because in the
present ,world competition has changed , and Thai Manufacturers have to
recognize the changing market. It is no longer about one manufacture competing
with other in the world market. For exporting ,Thailand is too expensive to
compete with the low cost countries like China ,Indonesia , Vietnam ,India etc.
Andyet at the moment the Thai industry can’t compete in the sophisticated high-
endmarket with the high cost countries e.g. Germany ,Italy, Japan ,Taiwan or
Korea.
So, to compete now and even more so in the future , the Thai E.T. manufacturers
need to upgrade technology and start marking higher value products. Exporting
in the mid to low – end is no longer viable market for Thailand .
Todo this, Thai wet processing mills need to adopt in terms of auxiliary side ,
technology that offer higher quality products, and more innovation. In the
fashion areas , finishing ,bio-polishing and other environment friendly
technologies will certainly be required. They will more costly, but the overall product
cost may or may not be increased. The manufactures and , how ever
,ask for higher prices for the final product – thus higher profit margin. That is the
only way to go in to the future. Competing in cost alone will not be sustainable in
the long run.
