Abstract This chapter explores future challenges to improve the design and
implementation of the Thailand Unit by examining two cases of the unit conducted
in 2009 and 2011. The unit covers two important issues of urban environmental
management: Solid waste management and urban water use and management.
Development, implementation, results and review processes of the unit are shown
by comparing both cases. To examine educational effects of the unit in terms of its
academic contents, group work results are shown. To improve the unit design and
implementation, questionnaire survey results for the involved faculty members are
shown, where the strengths and weakness are clearly indicated. To review the effects
of the unit participation on leadership development in individual students, their
feedback comments are shown and serve as proof of the unit’s achievements.
