Increasingly, debates around quality and adherence todifferent development goals, economies, and technology widely-accepted standards serve to create a consensus aroundenvironments all lead to and indicate different purposes for how much theory and how much practice is needed in theeducation.

teaching capacity and curriculum development. More recently, roles for distanceeducation and information communication technologies (ICT) in teacher education are beingexplored. Establishment of several National Institutions of Technical Teachers’ Training andResearch (NITTTRs) has paved the way for quality improvement of technical education atdiploma/polytechnic level. The general consensus is that they have provided good results.However, there is a lack of well-structured FDP for engineering and technology education inIndia. In the higher engineering and technology education sector, the idea of the FDP remainedneglected possibly due to twin perceptions: (i) a philosophical belief that this activity belongs tosocial scientists and is less
correlates, such as self efficacy, initiative,and willingness to challenge. Female students, in general, have a high level of aspiration forengineering careers, but have a relatively low employment self efficacy. However, thegroup of students who participated in various WIE programs showed a higher employmentself efficacy as well as a higher employment rate than the group who did not participate. 1. Introduction Engineering remains the only field that has a low female ratio throughout the industrializedworld. The masculine image of engineering causes difficulties in recruiting and retention offemale students, regardless of scholastic achievements. Several studies showed that if theratio of one gender is less than a critical mass of 30%, there

pursuing a PhD in Integrative STEM Education through Virginia Tech. She served on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) T-STEM Academy Blueprint design committee. She brings a depth and breadth of STEM education knowledge to the community. As an influential member of the T-STEM Net- work, she leads STEM professional development design teams, campus instructional coaching programs, and provides STEM technical assistance to district leadership. As a STEM specialist, Joules facilitates K-12 mathematics and science educators’ understanding of Design/Engineering/Technology as context for teaching of STEM concepts, including the content required by the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards. Specifically, the design
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
