7A Qualitative Approach for Improvement in Technical Education Using Total Quality Management (TQM) Concept Khanna Pradeep Takshshila Institute of engineering & Technology, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. pradeepkhanna23@yahoo.co.in Online published on 4 November, 2017. Abstract Quality in Education can be defined as The development of intellectual skills and knowledge that will equip graduates to contribute to society through productive and satisfying engineering careers as innovators, decision makers and leaders in the global economy (R. Natrajan, 1999) Technical education in India is facing lot of challenges as the demand for qualified engineers is ever increasing due to fast growing information technology and its enabled services sector. Though a large number of engineers pass out every year but not all of them are employed ready. The causes for this may be many, but most of them are related to the faculty and type of education and training being provided by our technical institute. These days most of the technical institutions are facing an acute shortage of faculty members. This is vastly due to a phenomenal growth of technical institutions in our country. Others reasons for this shortage may be lack of willingness of engineers to adapt teaching as career. It is proposed to model the system of technical education system, with a view to improve its attractiveness. For this purpose the technical education system will be divided into subsystems and their interactions will be modeled. A system dynamics approach is to be proposed to explain interactions between subsystems and the feedbacks with in the loops [1] Top Keywords Technical Education, Total Quality Managment. Top |
