The University of Prince Edward Island, Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, has openings for sessional instructors for the Fall 2025 semester for the following course:

ENGN-4510 Geoinformatics in Bioresources
This course covers the theory and practice of geoinformatics and its 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 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

ENGN-2610 Thermofluids I 
This course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of thermodynamics (first and second laws) and the application of these principles to engineering problems. Topics included are: the nature and forms of energy; basic concepts of systems, properties, states and processes; energy transfer as work and heat; energy and The First Law of Thermodynamics; entropy and The Second Law of Thermodynamics; and heat engine and refrigeration cycles. Three hours lecture 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. 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.

Note: Members of the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering’s Sessional Roster will be given priority in consideration for these positions.
