of successful companies and their research labs, need to find a wayinto science and engineering higher education systems to help to develop talent that can notonly use technology, but also help create it and develop new business opportunities with it.Universities are usually the preferred venue for post-doctoral candidates (postdocs) to spend 2to 3 years further expanding their research interests, experience and networks before formallyinitiating their careers with a company, university, or self-owned business. Nevertheless,industry research labs can also provide ways to engage not only faculty and students but alsopostdocs in innovation and in the transfer of state-of-the-art research results and emergingtechnology areas into new businesses

tried to make faculty members believe that process andprocedures of the evaluation are reliable, valid and fair.5. Conclusion In Korea, universities and colleges have concentrated on ranking and classifying thefaculty by the number of publication in SCI-rated research journal, which lead to indifference toteaching of most engineering faculty. Now we try to find the way how to get balance betweenresearch and teaching. It is time for the faculty in Korean engineering colleges to develop facultyownership for their own career growth and to harmonize teaching and research. Course portfolios can be a very effective method for identifying and validating quality ofteaching. Most engineering faculty members in Korea agreed that the
, e.g) taking up careers un-related to their education and training Particularly, Marketing, Advertising, Finance attract criticism.

Alarge percentage of engineering faculty members still believes that “subject knowledge” is theonly criteria for becoming an effective teacher in engineering institutions.Emergence of for-profit employers in faculty developmentDuring the last decade in India, major employers of engineering graduates have observed in theirrecruitment drives that while thousands of students graduated with an engineering degree, onlyabout 20% or less, were really “employable” directly. An analysis revealed that the
