The Suranaree University of Technology (Thai: มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีสุรนารี; SUT) is a national public university in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. The university was established on 27 July 1990, becoming fully operational in 1993.

It is named after Thao Suranari, the local heroine of Nakhon Ratchasima. It is one of nine National Research Universities of Thailand.

Suranaree University of Technology has employed the trimester credit system since 1993 for more efficient use of time and to avoid the semester system summer session that usually is only half of the regular term in duration. The trimester system also enables students to take advantage of the cooperative education and career experience, so that they have sufficient time in the work site. [3]
