To implement a meaningful and effective E.T. program with an emphasis on computers will require a continued education on the part of the faculty. Even though the department boasts of highly qualified and competent faculty, their knowledge in the emerging trends in this new emphasis is limited.
Faculty are the principal custodians of knowledge in any community of learners.
It is therefore essential that these faculty be exposed to the current trends, issues and subject matter contents in computer technology. They must be conversant with the current and future needs of the industry and proficient with the tools and current processes. Only if this is achieved can they develop a curriculum which will be an effective vehicle for empowering the students to compete in the present and future job market. Only after a firm grasp of the knowledge can faculty effectively pass on the same to their students in order to achieve the desired change in behavior. In addition to knowledge acquisition, faculty development workshop and activities will avail the faculty of other invaluable benefits.
