Students at NIS, will soon participate in an exclusive Water Treatment and Management workshop, hosted by NIS in collaboration with the faculty of engineering from University of New South Wales (UNSW). During the workshop, NIS students the chance to learn directly from two university professors about how engineers design systems to treat, manage and plan water resources.
The 1 hour long interactive workshop will be held on Tuesday, March 24 from 8:00-9:00 AM (Period 1 on C day), in the multipurpose room D108 in the Voyager Building. Students will be able to learn and explore the challenges of maintaining a safe, and sustainable water systems, while also learning about engineers’ role when it comes to solving global environmental issues.
The idea for the event began after representatives from UNSW Sydney visited NIS last year in 2025, says Ms. Nite, the organizer from NIS. Following their visit, discussions between NIS and UNSW led to the planning of this workshop. NIS was the only school in Thailand chosen to host this event.

The student interest in the event was strong, with over 20 students signing up before the registration closed. In addition, Mr. Collin and Dr. Insha’s science classes will be joining the session. The workshop will be led by two professors from the UNSW’s faculty of engineering, who will share their experiences in the field.
According to Ms. Nite, the organizer, the workshop will give students exposure to real world topics and help them explore possible future careers and pathways. While it is the most useful for students who are interested in Engineering, it also broaden students’ academic interests and learn about how science and technology are used to solve real-world problems.
University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, is known internationally for its engineering programs, ranking #1 in terms of Water Resources Engineering and Civil Engineering in Australia, and placing among the top 20 universities globally with research focused on water systems, climate resilience, and sustainable infrastructure.
