Sessional Instructors - Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering (Summer 2021)
The University of Prince Edward Island Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering has openings for Sessional Instructors for the Summer 2021 Semester (July 5 - August 17). These positions are subject to final budgetary approval.
Please note: These courses will be delivered through a combination of both in-person and on-line instruction under the hybrid model of course delivery for the Summer 2021 semester in response to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic.
ENGN-1340 Engineering Mechanics II:Dynamics
This course is a study of mechanics concerned with the state of motion of rigid bodies that are subject to the action of forces. The course considers the kinematics and kinetics of motion applied particles and rigid bodies particularly as it relates to engineering applications and design. Topics include rectilinear and curvilinear motions, normal and tangential coordinates, dependent motion, Newton's Laws of Motion, energy and momentum methods.
(9 hours per week; evenings; combination of in-person and online delivery)
ENGN-2130 Statistics for Engineering Applications
This course provides an introduction to statistics through its application to engineering in the areas of reliability and experimentation. Basic statistical concepts, such as probability, descriptive measures, population distributions, and hypothesis testing will be taught in the context of engineering reliability and experimentation scenarios. Students will be introduced to fundamental concepts of reliability, such as failure and repairability rates, and analysis techniques such as reliability block diagrams and fault tree analysis. Students will also learn the basics of experimental design, including one-factor-at-a-time and factorial testing, and get hands-on experience with the design, execution, analysis and interpretation of experimental results.
(9 hours per week; evenings; combination of in-person and online delivery)
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. Candidates should be registered, or be eligible to be registered, as a Professional Engineer on Prince Edward Island. 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.
Application Instructions:
Applications must include a resume specifying academic qualifications, relevant teaching and professional experience and three references.
