conversation to talk about observations andideas based on the video. This was highly appreciated by the participants.Data Acquisition and AnalysisIn order to analyze the impact of the various FDPs conducted in association with Texas A&M,feedback from the ninety participants of the FDPs was requested to have a database to facilitatefuture activities. One-fifth of the FDP participants responded to the questionnaire that asked:(a) To what extent had participants incorporated learning outcomes for their courses and reflections about applying learning outcomes in teaching–learning processes?(b) To what extent had participants incorporated ‘active and cooperative learning methodologies’ and reflections on its application?(c) To what extent had

. However, after Brain Korea 21 Project (1999~2005), at themany research based institutions, the focus of evaluation has become to move fromundergraduate education to research. Most professors in Korean engineering colleges have beenmainly concerned about research productivity, while showing indifference to the quality ofteaching because they were largely evaluated on publications in SCI-rated research journals inorder to be successful in tenure or promotion. If a professor's research performance is competent,students’ poor rating won't be an issue. The faculty evaluation of teaching has not beenconsidered as important as research. Moreover, it used only rating scale of number of lecture andstudents’ course evaluations using quantitative assessment
