In order to improve the Quality of Education, it has become essential to improve the teaching skills and knowledge of the teachers in the subjects they teach. The Centre for Faculty Development started by the University conducts faculty development training programmes to cater to the needs of faculty members for the past 5 years. The Centre trains the teachers to plan and prepare the lessons, understand the subject contents and improve the teaching quality. These programmes are conducted during the Summer / Winter Vacation to enable the teachers to participate and benefit. The resource persons are experienced faculty members from University and also experts from the industry.

The Centre for Faculty Development of Anna University Chennai also conducts the ANNA EDUSAT live interactive audio-video lecture programmes transmitted through KU-Band provided by ISRO, Bangalore from January 2006 onwards. Up linking and down linking facilities are available at the University. Down linking facilities have been provided in 49 Engineering Colleges.
