This one-week Faculty Development Program (FDP) is aimed at College and University teachers in various disciplines of science and engineering, and industrial experts. The approach to teaching has changed to a new paradigm, and the teachers need to be updated with the pedagogy for a better teaching-learning experience. The exposure to tools like open-source courseware, simulation tools, and scientific approaches to planning and execution of experiments will enhance the attendee’s inquisitiveness and understanding of the subjects. Interdisciplinary subjects like ‘renewable energy’ are getting due attention in the science and engineering course curriculum. So, teachers need to refresh their knowledge of these subjects for a better pedagogical approach. The aim of this Faculty Development Programme (FDP) is to bring the teachers/industrial experts of different engineering, science, and allied subjects onto one platform to update them with the recent advances in control engineering, power electronics, and renewable energy technology.
