It’s a well known fact that enhancing students' competency is directly proportional to enhancing faculty competency. Motivation for this paper is how to enhance faculty competencies in this competency driven education system? Changing times are transforming the nature of competencies that have been valuable throughout history, such as communication and collaboration. A teacher is responsible for the developing or deteriorating interest from a course. If teacher takes such a task unprepared then whole bunch of students may suffer its consequences. Scope of this project/paper is facilitating faculties who wants to deliver a multi disciplinary, PBL pedagogy based course effectively. This papers attempts to enhance 21st century competencies into faculties by a taking a case study of Engineering Exploration and Design Project Course hosted for freshman year students. The subjects in our research are Faculties Teams from seven different disciplines. The data is collected through Questionnaire. Lastly the data is verified with students feedback to whom these faculties are delivering the course.

Major finding of our study are with appropriate, team driven policies we can imbibe 21st Century Competencies among faculties.

Scope of this project/paper is facilitating faculties who wants to deliver a multi disciplinary, PBL pedagogy based course effectively. This papers attempts to enhance 21st century competencies into faculties by a taking a case study of Engineering Exploration and Design Project Course hosted for freshman year students. The subjects in our research are Faculties Teams from seven different disciplines. The data is collected through Questionnaire. Lastly the data is verified with students feedback to whom these faculties are delivering the course.

Major finding of our study are with appropriate, team driven policies we can imbibe 21st Century Competencies among faculties.
