The Designing of 3D-Printed Modular Artificial Reef through Design Thinking Framework: A Case study in Koh Khai, Chumphon Province, Thailand

Abstract

This study explores the design, production, and installation of 3D-printed modular artificial reefs (3DMARs) at Koh Khai, Chumphon Province, Thailand, through a design thinking framework. Collaborating with SCG Co., Ltd. and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, the research establishes design criteria and installation methods, utilizing content analysis and qualitative research. Key principles such as modularity, flexibility, environmental sustainability, and usability are identified. The user-centered approach optimizes the 3DMARs for transport and deployment, enabling local community involvement and fostering sustainable practices. The modular design supports scalability, enhancing marine habitats and coral larval settlement. Furthermore, underwater monitoring techniques enable site-specific data collection, allowing for the generation of digital twin models. This research offers a practical framework for marine ecosystem restoration and empowers coastal communities in Thailand and beyond

DEVELOPMENT OF A WEBSITE FOR COLLECTING INFORMATION ON FARMERS YOUNG SMART FARMER CHANTHABURI PROVINCE

This study aimed to develop a website for collecting and organizing data on Young Smart Farmers in Chanthaburi Province. Data were collected through structured interviews with a sample of 30 participants. The information obtained was categorized and utilized to develop the website, which was subsequently disseminated to farmers and other stakeholders. The study also assessed user satisfaction with the website through a questionnaire, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.The results indicated that the sample comprised an equal proportion of male and female participants, with the majority (50.00%) aged between 36 and 40 years. Most respondents were Young Smart Farmers from the districts of Khlung, Laem Sing, and Kaeng Hang Maeo, each representing 13.33% of the sample. The majority of participants had attained a bachelor’s degree or equivalent (60.00%) and were primarily engaged in agricultural occupations (73.33%). The findings on user satisfaction with the website revealed a high level of satisfaction across all dimensions, ranked as follows 1) Website usability (Mean 4.97), 2) Overall satisfaction (Mean 4.93), 3) Content quality (Mean 4.91), 4) Practical benefits and applicability (Mean 4.87), and 5) Design and layout (Mean 4.85).

Testing of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) based on IEC 61851-1 Annex A

This project focuses on developing a test device for an AC charger for electric vehicles according to the IEC 61851-1 Annex A standard by simulating the test circuit inside an electric vehicle according to the standard to test the operation of the AC charger. The test topic is related to the communication between the electric vehicle and the charger via a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit system and creating an operation manual (WI) to prepare for testing in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards, which are general requirements for laboratory capabilities in conducting tests and/or calibrations. The overall picture of this project is to develop test equipment and create an operation manual by collecting knowledge and various devices and then comparing the data to meet the abovementioned standards to test the Type II AC charger in each state. The test equipment consists of a communication part between the test equipment and the AC charger using a PLC S7-1200 and an HMI to control the operation of the switches in the test equipment circuit, including controlling parameters and displaying results. The equipment used to measure values ​​is an oscilloscope and a multimeter that have undergone a calibration process to comply with the specified standards.
