The major asset of an academic institution and the driving force behind a student’s successful career is a team of competent faculty with sound exposure to industrial environment. The advent of knowledge industry and the rapid technological changes demand academicians to rise beyond diligent teachers or researchers and evolve as ‘facilitators of growth’. This transformation process is multidimensional, progressive and is based on experiential learning through professional guidance from veterans. 3Edge with their internal team of experts and a wide network of practitioners with decades of technology and management experience has trained over 1,000 faculty members from various Engineering Colleges in south India on industry-relevant technologies through its unique Faculty Development Programme (FDP). 3Edge has also been conducting Faculty development programs in technology, leadership and management skills for various colleges.
