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

ENGN 1230 Engineering Mechanics I: Statics

This course focuses on the study of mechanics concerned with the equilibrium conditions of particles and rigid bodies at the state of rest and subject to forces and moments. A structured problem-solving method is introduced to identify and solve problems using appropriate theory, tools, and methodologies. Topics to be discussed include unit systems, vector operations, equilibrium conditions, free-body diagrams, moments and couples, distributed loadings, support reactions, truss analysis, centroids, moments of inertia, products of inertia, shear and bending moment diagrams, and friction.

Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week.

This appointment is for one or two lab sections (TBD)

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.  Professional engineering experience is expected and will be an important consideration in the selection process.

Registration as a P. Eng or EIT with Engineers PEI is considered an asset.

Note: members of the sessional roster and full-time and term contract faculty members of the FSDE will be given priority.

Application Instructions:

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