AICTE brings out model curriculum in all specializations and programmes governed by it viz, Engineering, Management, MCA, Pharmacy, Hotel Management and Architecture through its boards. There are ten boards in technical education, out of which there are two boards in engineering; one dealing with undergraduate education and the other with post graduate education. The use of Information Communication Technology in the teaching learning process is promoted in India through a nationally coordinated project – National Project on Technology Enhanced Learning. As part of this project, e-contents are developed for various courses and virtual laboratories are being

To ensure the success of this program, various kinds of facilities should be provided to faculty by university like sabbatical leave, post doctoral research, participation in short term training programs, workshops etc. This will help them in understanding the work culture available to the teachers all over the world and plan reforms in their own universities to make it globally acceptable

, which made many faculties becomeunconcern to teaching. They know the fact that teaching should be equitable with research, butthey cannot help putting priority on research. Faculty’s indifference to quality teaching has beenproblematic, which has lowered students’ motivation to study engineering. That leads to theslowing down industrial and technological development steadily. As Ernest Boyer, the president of Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching,asked the higher education community to consider expanding the meaning of scholarshipcriticizing the research oriented trends, the Korean engineering community strived to improve theengineering education level as well as research.

root cause ofthis lack of “quality graduates” was the paucity of “trained” teachers, who are expected to ensure“quality” education. Consequently, major for-profit employers have initiated programs in facultydevelopment. For example, WIPRO Technologies has initiated well-designed programs, e.g.,Mission10X, for training engineering college teachers with respect to pedagogical aspects of theteaching-learning process. Infosys Ltd has actively participated in the Indo-US Collaboration forEngineering Education (IUCEE) program. Both Mission10X and IUCEE focus on facultydevelopment across the engineering programs in India.

An Indian Institute of Technology was selectedbecause of the reputation these schools have for providing world-class training. For comparison,the problem solving ability of the IIT-KGP students was compared to data from a U.S. researchuniversity, Texas Tech University (TTU), and to a less-renowned (compared to IIT-KGP) butwell-regarded engineering institute in India, Manipal

At a neurological level, a chemically-based process of long-term potentiation isresponsible for changing synaptic connections in the brain due to persistent chemical andelectrical stimulation over time arising from the experience of the individual.
