quality knowledge and skills to the students, thereby lowering their overall development and employability. At times, the faculty also lack in communication and pedagogical skills and industry academia collaboration is also at nascent stage. Faculty development basically means: Improved teaching and learning necessary for deep understanding of technical information and skills Implementation of latest teaching strategies Creating practical learning environment provided by laboratories and workshops Effective assessment methods to determine quality and improve the learning process Understanding properly the changing role of teacher in various areas including research ‘Train the Trainer’ model has to be
EngineeringEducation. Though the Focus is to provide access, to many but equally important is to ensurequality of education. Engineering graduates today require not only adequate technologicalability and problem solving skills, but also must be equipped with soft skills, business skills,inter personnel and intercultural adaptability.Now, the emphasis should be on self learning and the role of teacher is redefined as facilitatorto enable the students to be more involved in active learning through laboratory. Project work ,assignments and case studies Lifelong learning and continuous learning is key aspect of teacherand student.International collaborations are essential for better student development. Inview of theglobalisation and in this endeavour the role of
computersimulations, interactive collaboration/discussion and the creation of virtual learningenvironments connecting regions or nations.c) Creating practical learning environment provided by laboratories andworkshops- Laboratories and practical classes have been a substantial part of the teachingrepertoire in Science and Engineering for many years. In recent years, someUniversities have developed virtual laboratories, which minimize physicalrequirements and allow all students access to laboratory equipments through theintegration of instrumentation and the use of simulation software. Many more Page 17.41.3universities supplement laboratory practice with some

Project work ,assignments and case studies Lifelong learning and continuous learning is key aspect of teacherand student.International collaborations are essential for better student development. Inview of theglobalisation and in this endeavour the role of ICT is the key enabler for enhanced studentlearning . Apart from F2F learning, Blended learning through online, web based methodologieswill provide better opportunities through International collaborations for student development.Innovative models of undergraduate and graduate students is desirable through Internationalcollaboration to enrich the students of better understanding and level of competency can bedeveloped. * Regional
ElectronicsII. The longer semester in China did permit inclusion of some topics from Electronics II in thiscourse specifically feedback, active filters, and frequency response of transistors. Electronics Icovers diodes, OpAmps, transistors, transistor amplifiers, and multiple transistor circuitsincuding amplifiers, current sources, and differential amplifiers.The grading was done using the U.S. instructor‟s method of including homework (15%), twomidterm exams (20% each), a final exam (35%), and the laboratory (10%). In this university, thefinal exam supposed to be at least 60% of the final grade, there is only one midterm, andhomework counts for little. In the U.S., this laboratory is a part of the course and is usuallytaught by the same instructor. In

science curriculum, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, oftenincorporates hands-on laboratory experiences. This hands-on lab work provides students withconcept relevancy, integrated knowledge, and technical skill required in engineering jobs [1].Hands-on and project based curriculum are examples of inductive learning techniques whereinductive learning reverses the traditional method of deductive learning. In deductive learning,a theory is presented to students and examples are then given in illustrations, in-classexperiments or homework exercises. In inductive learning, the process begins with a set ofobjectives or a problem to be solved. Faculty guides students along the way and the studentsreach an understanding of concepts through
