Abstract
In the current era of web, students are flooded with sea of information available on the internet. A teacher should be an efficient navigator who can guide the students to swim in the right direction to achieve their dreams. In this context, training engineering faculty is the need of the hour as most of the faculty would not have undergone formal training unlike other professions. In a scenario where students are losing interest in traditional teaching methods, an attempt is made to improve the efficiency of teaching by making trainers experience the novel methodologies of teaching before they apply them in their teaching methods. One such attempt in this direction was made to enhance the teaching skills of engineering teachers by conducting a workshop on "Effective teaching of Data Structures and Applications". Trainers expressed their satisfaction about the improvement in their quality of teaching that resulted in better understanding of concepts among students.
