The University of Prince Edward Island Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering has openings for Sessional Instructors for the forthcoming 2019 Winter Semester for the following courses:

ENGN 2220 ENGINEERING PROJECTS II

A continuation of engineering 2210, students will complete detailed paper designs of their concepts, in-depth engineering analysis, as well as develop a physical model or demonstration to support the recommended design solution. Working closely with community partners and faculty, students will learn how to manage a complex client-oriented project, supported by accurate numerical analysis and professional documentation. Client interaction and presentations occur at selected hold points and demonstration of concept at a public industry expo is required.

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

ENGN 2430 ENGINEERING ECONOMICS

This course provides students with the fundamentals of engineering economics and finance financial aspects in the context of professional engineering practice. Topics include the time value of money, project screening, cost estimation, and discounting analysis techniques, economic analysis of depreciation, maintenance, replacement and upgrading and the impact of taxes, inflation and time on infrastructure development. Relevant software and projects are used.

Three lecture hours and three tutorial hours per week

ENGN 3720 PROJECT-BASED PROFESSIONAL PRATICE II

A continuation of Engineering 3710, students will complete detailed designs of their concepts, build full-scale operational prototypes (where possible) and test them in a controlled laboratory and industrial environment (where possible).  Working closely with faculty and industry partners, students will prepare patent applications and develop commercialization plans for the products or processes developed.  Demonstration of concept during an end of year industry expo is required.

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

ENGN 3820 SYSTEM DYNAMICS WITH SIMULATION

This course introduces the analysis and control of dynamic systems, with concepts and examples drawn from all disciplines. It includes development and analysis of differential equation models for mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid systems, including some sensors. Systems are primarily analyzed using Laplace transforms and computer simulation methods. Analysis concepts cover first, second, and higher order differential equations, transient characteristics, transfer functions, stability, dominance, and frequency response. Properties of systems include time constant, natural and damped frequency, and damping ratio.

Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week

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 2430 and ENGN 3820, candidates should be registered, or be eligible to be registered, as a Professional Engineer on Prince Edward Island. For ENGN 2220 and ENGN 3720, 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:
