The University of Prince Edward Island’s Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering has openings for Sessional Instructors for the forthcoming 2018 Fall Semester for the following courses:

ENGN 2210 ENGINEERING PROJECTS I

This course is the first in a two-course sequence, which provides a complete community design experience. In 2210, students go through a self-selecting team and project-based process in response to request for proposals prepared by community partners. Students are required to research and analyze the client's situation (internal/external) and develop detailed analytical proposals and conceptual design options for their community partner. Concepts are developed into detailed designs and prototypes in Engineering 1220. End of term client presentation are used as hold points and to provide focus and direction for the second term.

Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week; team-taught with a faculty member

ENGN 2310 STRENGTH OF MATERIALS

This course is an introduction to the study of stress, strain and deformation of a solid body subjected to static forces. Topics include elastic and plastic stress, strain, Mohr's circle, torsion, behaviour of beams and columns. Computer applications and hands-on laboratory experiments are used.

Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week

ENGN 2610 THERMO FLUIDS I

This course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of thermodynamics (first and second laws) and the application of these principles to engineering problems. Topics included are: the nature and forms of energy; basic concepts of systems, properties, states and processes; energy transfer as work and heat; energy and The First Law of Thermodynamics; entropy and The Second Law of Thermodynamics; and heat engine cycles. The analysis of various systems for power generation or refrigeration is also included.

Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week

ENGN 3710 PROJECT-BASED PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE I

This course is the first of a four-course project-based stream that simulates the practice of a professional engineer. Students working closely with faculty supervisors and industry partners will experience an actual research and development project where they are expected to research the problem and develop a highly technical solution that is not patented or commercially available. Following best practices in project management, students will develop detailed project proposals, conceptual designs, and proof of concepts within the ethical and safety considerations that are fundamental to the profession. Concepts are further developed into operational prototypes during the second semester.

Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week; team-taught with a faculty member

Qualifications:

Qualified individuals must have a Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant engineering discipline. A Master’s Degree in a relevant engineering discipline, or an equivalent combination of qualifications and experience, would be considered a strong asset. For ENGN 2310 and ENGN 2610, candidates should be registered, or be eligible to be registered, as a Professional Engineer on Prince Edward Island. For ENGN 2210 and ENGN 3710, candidates must be registered as a Professional Engineer on Prince Edward Island. In all cases, professional engineering experience is expected and will be an important consideration in the selection process.

Note:  Members of the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering’s Sessional Roster will be given priority in consideration for this position. These positions are subject to final budgetary approval.

Application Instructions:

Applications must specify the specific course(s) to which you are applying; and include a resume specifying academic qualifications, relevant teaching and professional experience and three references. Submit applications to:
