Nowadays, the modern paradigm of educational institutions cannot be focused solely on producing the quality graduates according to the curriculum. Instead, the concept of producing graduates must be changed to produce graduates who are capable of lifelong learning and able to seek knowledge for properly and systematically application based on an enormous database. (Big data)

The Faculty of Science and Technology recognizes the importance of teaching and learning in the current era that must be in line with changes in social and industrial structures. Therefore, it is defined as Education 4.0 policy
- Develop the teaching and learning process based on science and mathematics and technology (STEM).
- Develop research, inventions and innovations based on science, mathematics and technology.
- Academic services and knowledge transfer for sustainable development of communities and society in accordance with sufficiency economy philosophy.
- Create a collaboration network
Since 2015, the Faculty of Science and Technology has modernized the building (formerly known as the 40th Anniversary Memorial Building) both inside and outside. The scientific laboratory, information technology, and lecture rooms have been updated to support the development of teaching and learning in accordance with the context of digital education management. In addition, the Scientific Instrument and Service Center (SISC) has been set up to provide testing and sample analysis services for students, professors, researchers both inside and outside the university, as well as various public and private industrial sectors.
