| Summary: | The engineering education in Kerala is undergoing
dramatic changes. Around fifteen years back only
cream students went for engineering studies. At
present students are joining the course not for
passion to engineering stream but as a matter of
prestige and pressure from external environment. The
scenario is not different among the faculty community
also in terms of quality erosion. The present study
aimed to find out the impact of age group,
educational qualification, experience, extend of
participation of faculty members and impact of career
development programs on the quality of teaching. The
most popular career development tool utilized by
faculty members in the field of engineering is
attending Seminars. It may be due to the fact that it
is an easy task. The research revels that the majority
of faculty members in the Engineering discipline
belong to thirty five years and their basic qualification
is B.Tech. Apart from that, attending workshops,
faculty development program, participating in national
and international conference helps a faculty to
increase the quality of teaching. It is viewed that
there is reluctance from the part faculty members in
participating in career development programmes. |
