A short article on

Importance of Faculty Development Programs

In view of the fast learners of today’s Net Generation of multitasking students, rapidly increasing knowledge sphere and lightning

speed of advancing technologies, the teachers in higher education system are expected to focus on their own professional skills

development. The competing demands for effective teaching, scholarly productivity, and service contributions are ringing the bell for

all the teachers to opt for professional development training. UGC and AICTEare also expecting all the higher education institutes to

make proactive efforts to upgrade knowledge and skills of their faculty members. In a nutshell, Faculty Development Programs

(FDPs) have become the need of time.These FDPs can be a powerful tool to constitute a positive institutional environment. FDPs can

range from basic orientation programs for new faculty members to refreshment programs for experienced teachers and professionals.

These programs support all the teachers in adapting to changing missions of teaching as well as to enhance the efficiency and

performance of their teaching skills with additional benefits of work satisfaction and teaching confidence.

Along with knowledge of subject matter and research expertise, empirically based principles of effective teaching and learning taught

through FDPs can lead to effective pedagogy. FDPs facilitate the participants to gain more expertise in active learning, conscious

pedagogy, use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and multimedia etc. A few research oriented programs can

incline the faculty members towards research and development activities leading to industrial consultancy. These programs may also

provide a platform for generating new innovative ideas and registering the patents for the same. FDPs have a very good long-term

impact on teachers which may result into overall development of their students and institute as well.

Vision and leadership are of great importance in conducting such FDPs. With a great vision of the Central Project Advisors of NPIU,

the mentor Dr. SubhashBabu from IIT Bombay, and their financial support, we could plan many FDP’s covering almost all aspects of

engineering education at SGGS IE&T, Nanded. Under the able leadership and guidance of Dr. L. M. Waghmare, Director, SGGS

IE&T, and with a great support from faculty members of all the departments, all the planned FDPs are planned well and conducted

successfully. We are really grateful to our Board of Directors, Director, all deans and all of the faculty members of SGGS IE&T,

Nanded.

Dr. Sanjay N. Talbar, Suhas G. Sapate, Dr. Anil B. Gonde.

On behalf of SGGS IE&T Nanded, Director, All teaching and non-teaching staff, we wish you all

A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2016 We wish you all a very sound health, happy mood, prosperity and success throughout the year.
