Expected Outputs & Outcomes of Capacity Building Programme on STEM:

(i) Enhanced Teaching Effectiveness: Improved pedagogical skills among college
teacher/faculty, resulting in more engaging and effective teaching practices in STEM
subjects.

(ii) Increased Student Learning Outcomes: Higher student performance in STEM
courses, reflected in grades, assessments, and course completion rates.
(iii) Motivated, energised and capable faculty: Happy, enthusiastic, engaged and
motivated college teacher / faculty towards students, institutions and profession with
professional development opportunities and a supportive teaching environment.

(vii) Research and Innovation: Enable college teacher / faculty to create culture of research
and innovation that can be imbibed by the students.

(iv) Strengthened Academic Community: A collaborative culture among college teacher
/ faculty, promoting continuous improvement and innovation in teaching practices.
(v) Improved Student Engagement: Enhanced student interest in STEM fields, leading to
higher enrolment in STEM courses and Programmes.
(vi) Diversity and Inclusion: Increased efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in STEM
fields, reflected in student demographics and participation rates.

A well-structured Capacity Building Programme on STEM can significantly contribute to
developing a strong foundation in STEM education and preparing students for future
challenges.

Host Institutions/ Implementing agency for Capacity Building Programmes on STEM

Initially, IIT Madras, IIT Ropar and IISc Bengaluru have been identified for conducting Capacity
Building Programme on STEM based on their institutional core strength and proposals to
conduct Training of Trainers (ToT) Programmes that specifically target UG-level college teacher
/ faculty in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. These Programmes are intended to
empower educators with the conceptual understanding and pedagogical skills and knowledge
necessary to cultivate innovation and inquiry in their students.

Other eminent Institutions may also be identified for conducting these Capacity Building
Programme, if required, subject to approval of PAB.

Implementation Framework for Capacity Building Programmes on STEM

All host institutes can exercise autonomy in assigning facilitators, setting syllabi, and
developing pedagogical approaches in accordance with the following standardised Programme
modalities:

(i) Participants – Regular teacher / faculty from Public funded colleges. Up to 6
participants can also be allowed from private colleges.
(ii) Target Audience - college teachers/ faculty teaching STEM subjects like Physics,

Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, and Biotechnology
(iii) Batch size – 30 participants per batch
