, Amravati (M.S.) India-444602 The effectiveness of teaching learning process is a function of multitude of factors like teacher, student, course curriculum, course planning and assessment. Hence, to have effective learning by the student, faculty development is must. Role of universities in international collaboration in faculty development is important to make engineering education & research more relevant to the needs of global society and to the aptitude and aspiration of new generation of engineers. Shortage of training opportunities and attention to over all growth of faculty is adversely affecting impartation of

designeducational program based on integrative STEAM for the middle and high schoolstudents. To accomplish the purpose, it was conducted that literature review ondevelopment of the program and qualitative study. The CEDE model was applied forthe qualitative experimental study. The conclusions of the study were as follows:First, it was developed that the program for middle and high school students basedon the integrative STEAM education approach. The program is consists of twotraining programs with five activities.Second, it was high that the satisfaction about learning contents and activities on theprogram. However, it was low that the satisfaction about difficulty level andconstitution for the learning contents and the workbook.Third, as a result of the

Education, National Taiwan Normal UniversityTaiwan is a country which relies heavily on its manufacturing industries; therefore, itneeds an enormous pool of skilled labor. This is the main reason behind Taiwan‘sdevelopment of an extensive technological education system. In the past, more peopleenrolled in vocational education than academic education. However, the number ofpeople enrolling in vocational education has been in obvious decline due to theupgrade and transformation of industry in recent years. This change has caused thenumber of students arriving at university from academic high schools and vocationalschools to become equal. These students advance to higher education levels indifferent ways. Universities in Taiwan are divided into two
