? Technological University, Thanlyin (TUT) was originally founded in 1993 as a training school for governmental technological experts and developed into a technological university with a 4-year bachelor’s course and a 2-year master’s course in 2007. As Myanmar is being rapidly modernized by its recent democratization, training technicians is an urgent need.
? We have deepened our friendship with Prof. Toshiro Tanaka’s (Graduate School of Science and Engineering) visit to TUT to conduct an inspection of laboratory safety and health in 2015. Moreover, we welcomed Dr. Kay Thi Lwin, Rector of TUT, in March 2016 and discussed the promotion of exchange activities between our two universities.
