Baba Amravati University, Amravati (M.S.) – 444602 India.I) INTRODUCTION : The exponential growth in technical education has not translated into anysignificant growth in the number of quality graduates due to restricted availability ofqualified faculty. The quality of education and training being imparted in theengineering education institutions varies from excellent to poor, with someinstitutions comparing favourably with the best in the world and others suffering fromdifferent degrees of handicaps. As such, there is currently a wide gap betweenquantity and quality in technical education. Universities can be looked upon as potential sources to address this problem.The University is

media, policymakers and government organizations, alllevels of educators, and the public in general resoundingly call for improved science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. By improving STEM education, there is thepotential to attract more and diverse types of students into becoming college-bound and career-ready. Currently, U.S. students are not attracted to STEM fields and are not prepared through ourschools for advanced study and careers. The need for improved STEM education and motivationis particularly critical for female and minority students, where participation and achievementgaps between majority and minority and male and female students in STEM disciplines in highereducation and careers persist. Providing STEM

During the processes of organizing the FDPs atIIT-M, some of the core team members were invited to other government and privateengineering colleges to demonstrate teaching and learning methods to their teaching faculty. Thisexercise provided an opportunity for core team members to develop their ability to conduct suchprograms. The core team members also availed themselves of opportunities to attend nationalmeetings on education related topics where teaching pedagogy was the focus.

Engineering Education, 2012 Developing a Cross-Cultural Model of Problem Solving: Comparing U.S. and Indian Engineering UndergraduatesThe process of globalization has changed economies and the workplace worldwide. As thisprocess has evolved, competitiveness has become a central issue. According to a typical metricof competitiveness used by government agencies and the media, which is the number ofengineering graduates, the U.S. has been falling behind emerging economies, most particularlyIndia and China.1 However, in trying to decide who is winning and who is losing, Gereffi et al.1emphasize that it is important to consider quality as well as quantity. But what does “quality”mean in engineering, and how are we to measure it
