This research is based on the experience of the faculty members of the College of Mathematics, Engineering, and Basic Sciences (STEM) at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in 2017 regarding the professional development curricula. The data of this research were extracted through a qualitative-descriptive phenomenological method with semi-structured interviewes as the tool. The collected data were analyzed through coding and categorization. Sampling in this section was targeted through a criterion type and a total of 21 individuals participated. The findings were validated by Delphi technique and expert agreements. The researchers' perceptions of the themes and concepts related to each field were collected with regard to four areas in the curriculum. Totally 37 categories were identified which were finally were classified under 4 main categories including design, implementation, field and evaluation in three areas of strengths, leading issues and desirability of curriculum. The results of this study revealed a great distance between the design and implementation was presented for the programs based on the life experience of the faculty members.
