Continuous Quality Improvement & Closing the Loop

Concrete evidence of curriculum revision based on employer surveys and alumni feedback for B.E. 2567 revision

CQI Case Study: Smart Barn IoT Integration & Brahman Beef Value Chain at Lopburi

Employer / Stakeholder Feedback:

Beef cattle cooperatives and industry partners (CPF, Betagro) reported that Livestock 4.0 demands graduates skilled in IoT microclimate sensors for ammonia mitigation and precision genetic sire selection.

Action Taken in B.E. 2567 (Closing the Loop):

Revised 2024 Curriculum integrated Courses 30502-2107 (Smart Barn Automation) and 30502-2108 (Bovine Semen Cryopreservation & AI), with IoT real-time air quality sensors installed at teaching barns.
