In the 21st Century , Engineering Programs have to focus on Global Context

What is Global Context ?

Vision to Achieve Excellence Considering the Diversity of the Students Facilitating Human Capital Development Adding Knowledge Capital Development Meeting the Global Challenges in Creativity Facilitating the Emerging Global Leadership Helping the Parents Focusing on the Engineering Education Assisting the Private Sector Initiatives Coaching the Talented Learners Creating Opportunities for Research Facilitating the Think Tanks

The role of existing National Institutes of Technical Teachers Training and Research They provide training programs for about

5000 faculty per year by considering the needs of around 1500 colleges and 1000 polytechnic colleges in that region.

May not plan appropriate programs for a single high performing college/ university.

They have about 50% shortage of faculty. They could assist in planning college

specific faculty development programs.
