Abstract

The teaching and learning ecosystem is undergoing a massive transformation, hence it is increasingly becoming challenging for the faculty to effectively interact and teach students. With rapid changes, evolution, and augmentation in technology, the undergraduate courses are predominantly diversified with emphasis on specialization. As a matter of fact, the prominence of technology as a part of human education cannot be denied. From the ancient days when technology was just going through its teething phase, till today, when most students are equipped with several portable technological devices at any given time, technology continues to drive educational competence to newer intellectual levels. The methods for all domains of education are also altering, newer ones are introduced while older ones being obsolete. This paper reviews the various aspects of training needs for faculty engaged in technical education. It concludes that today’s scenario demands technical faculties, with leadership qualities, enhanced soft-skills, able to face work pressures and new challenges, all this along with their domain knowledge as well as interdisciplinary exposure. This necessitates strategic initiatives for implementing faculty training and will surely enable us to witness a superior standard in technical education in the immediate future.
