Originally established in 1871 as the Royal Page School producing graduates for government service, Chulalongkorn University has since then been instrumental in providing equal opportunities in higher education for all. In the royal words of King Chulalongkorn: “All of our subjects, —be they royals, nobles or commoners– will have the same opportunity to study.”

This vision was realized by King Vajiravudh, his son, who founded the Kingdom’s first university in 1917. The university was named Chulalongkorn University in honor of his father as it was during the reign of King Chulalongkorn that modern education in Thailand began to develop.

Since its inception, Chulalongkorn University has maintained a reputation for the excellence of its academic standards. Today, Chulalongkorn University has 25 Teaching Divisions, 2 Affiliated Institutes, 8 Research Institutes, 13 Academic Institutes/Centers, 20 Centers of Excellence and 108 Research Units, covering almost all disciplines, attracting the best minds of the country, both as lecturers and students.

Course Description	This is a directed self-learning/seminar-based course designed to awaken students to an ever-evolving set of emerging technologies likely to have the greatest impacts on their professional lives over the coming decades - ranging, inter alia, from Quantum Computing to Human-Machine Interface, Optimal Control and Cybernetics, from Computational Bioinformatics to Nanotechnology, Nanobots, and Soft Robotics, from Renewable Energy to Ecological Rehabilitation Technologies, and so on. The course aims to equip students with life-long self-learning skills, ignite their passion for intellectual pursuits, bring to realisation their roles and responsibilities in harnessing the power of technologies to affect positive changes, and perhaps hone their instinct to anticipate and thus prepare for far-flung technological disruptions yet to materialise in the distant future. A major component of the course is the introduction to and use of Mathematica software to visualize and experiment with the statistical-computational models underlying said emerging technologies. Students will be asked to view online video documentaries, survey the technical-scientific publications on which the documentaries are based, and when possible, write Mathematica applets to demonstrate the learned concepts.
