Abstract: The purposes of the current study were to examine the 5C social engineering model-based training program on Surat Thani Rajabhat University students and Khun Thale Subdistrict residents' problem solving and adaptability and to examine the participants’ satisfaction learning with the 5C social engineering model-based training program. A training program was designed and implemented to enhance these skills among 150 students from Surat Thani Rajabhat University and local residents of Khun Thale Subdistrict, Mueang District, Surat Thani Province. The program focused on fostering collaborative learning, interdisciplinary engagement, and innovative problem-solving within a community-based context. The results demonstrated that participants significantly improved their problem-solving and adaptability skills, reinforcing the effectiveness of the 5C Model in cultivating social engineering competencies. The study also highlights the model’s potential for area-based community development, where educational institutions play an active role in addressing local challenges. These findings suggest that the 5C Model can inform university policies aimed at regional development and sustainable growth through socially engaged learning approaches.
