Abstract: :: This paper empirically examines the application of different methods and techniques that are employed in the Engineering Colleges for imparting knowledge. A survey conducted by us dealt with a variety methods and techniques that are used in training the future Engineers to create, maintain and sustain interest and curiosity in the learner towards learning objects and to facilitate learning. The study found that the most widely used training methods and techniques were case study, lecture, role play, seminar and business games. These training methods and techniques were found to be variously appropriate and facilitating learning. For the purpose of confidentiality we are not disclosing the names of the Engineering Colleges. . Our concluding observation is that Engineering Colleges should focus more on “producing entrepreneurs (employer) or self employed not employees”.
