, 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. One of the efforts for the Korean

present because of the generally low quality ofgraduates joining the teaching profession. All freshly inducted teachers have to begiven training in educational technology, pedagogy and use of teaching aids inaddition to subject updating.2. Need for Faculty Training There has been substantial growth in technical education during the post-independence period in India. The number of technical institutions at the degreelevel was 49 in 1950-51. But presently, there are 43 Central Universities, 65Institutes of National Importance & Other University Level Institutions, 297 StateUniversities, 100 Private Universities and 129 Deemed Universities located in Indiaas on December 2011 according to UGC‟s Handbook of “Higher Education at

Research should be carried-out in such away so that the technology can reach to masses and always be useful in sustainabledevelopment. In addition to the above, Faculty Development Program should also includeprograms for improving the skills of the faculties to face the upcoming changes in thecurrent education scenario; training sessions to know innovations in teaching; variousnational & international events etc.III) REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION INENGINEERING EDUCATION : International collaboration in engineering education sector is a rapidlygrowing component of core research activity for all countries.

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. However, training engineering collegeteachers across the large number of engineering programs in India is a huge task that
