The University of Prince Edward Island Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering has openings for Sessional Instructors for the Fall 2021 Semester. 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 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. Student 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. Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week

ENGN 2810 - Electric Circuits

This course is a study of topics such as: voltage, current, resistance, power, Ohm's laws, Kirchoff 's laws, sources, voltage and current division, nodal and mesh analysis, linearity, and superposition, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, capacitance and inductance, RL and RC circuits. Concepts of electric charge, force and field are also introduced. Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week.

ENGN 4510 - Geoinformatics in Bioresources

This course covers the theory and practice of geoinformatics and their applications to problems in bioresources using digital mapping and spatial analysis. Hands on laboratories will provide students with an experience to collect georeferenced data using a differential global positioning system, followed by mapping and analysis in a geographical information system. Topics include datums, map projections and transformations, vector and raster data, geo-spatial analysis, geo-statistics, and interpolation techniques. This course will also cover the fundamentals of remote sensing, data collection with sensors, and spatial and temporal aspects of the bio-resources attributes. 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, would be considered a strong asset. Candidates should 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.

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.
