The University of Prince Edward Island, Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, has openings for sessional instructors for the Winter 2026 semester for two sections of the following course:

ENGN-4310 Adv Fabrication Techniques

This course concentrates on manufacturing knowledge with a focus on advanced fabrication techniques (AFT) and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Students will expand their knowledge of traditional processes, including CAD/CAM, forming, welding, milling, etc., leading into innovative advanced fabrication techniques in additive and precision manufacturing, next-generation electronics, robotics, and smart automation (CIM), and sustainable and green manufacturing modeling and simulation in the manufacturing process developed through lectures and labs. Integration of CIM into supply chain design and management is emphasized based on the synergistic application of the mechatronics approach and philosophy. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab 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 in the mechanical engineering discipline, would be considered a strong asset.

Application Instructions:

Applications must include a cover letter and resume specifying academic qualifications, relevant teaching and professional experience, and the contact information for three references.
