Siam University
In 1965 Narong Mongkhonvanit established Siam University as a three-year private engineering college. Siam University, previously known as Siam Technical College, was legally founded as an institution of higher education with degree-granting authority in 1973.  Siam Technical College was later renamed Siam Technical Institution, a full-fledged private, non-profit university, in 1986. Three years later, the name was changed once more to Siam University to symbolize the breadth of academic options available.
