The objectives of this study were 1) to develop Online English for Science and Technology course (O-EST) to enhance the English reading proficiency of undergraduate students based on the efficiency criterion determined at75/75, 2) to compare students’ reading proficiency scores before and after applying for the online course, and 3) to examine students’ satisfaction toward the online course. The samples, which were purposively selected, comprised of 67 students majoring in Information Technology and Computer Engineering. The research instruments were the O-EST course, a reading proficiency test, a satisfaction questionnaire, and a reflective journal. Data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test while the data from the reflective journal were analyzed via thematic analysis. The results yielded that 1) the efficiency of the course was 75.97/77.56 which was higher than the designated value, 2) the reading proficiency score after applying course was higher with a statistically significant difference at the level of 0.05, and 3) The students’ satisfied level toward the course was high (= 4.37, S.D. = 0.63).
