A three – day Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Instructional Design and Delivery System” was organized by ‘National Institute of Technical Teachers’ Training and Research (NITTTR) (Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India), Chennai during 28th – 30th June 2010 at Sree Vidyanikethan Engineering College. About 80 participants were benefited by the training programme.

In his inaugural address Prof. T. Gopala Rao, Special Officer advised the members of the faculty to improve their teaching skills and motivate the students to acquire latest knowledge in their chosen fields of specialization.

Prof S. Mohan, Director, NITTTR, Chennai while delivering the valedictory address on 30th June emphasized the need for teachers to update their subject content since the students have more exposure to the latest developments in various subjects. He also advised the participants to cultivate the habit of encouraging students to ask questions since this alone results in unlearning both by the teacher and the taught. He distributed certificates to the participants.

In their interaction with the Director, the participants expressed their satisfaction over the programme and its utility in improving their quality of teaching.
