 The successful applicant will develop and teach courses at all levels of the curriculum and will be open to using teaching styles that reach students who otherwise might not choose engineering.  Engineering technology faculty members clearly communicate with students the connections between principles and professional practice.  The selected faculty member is expected to engage in scholarship, professional service and/or consulting; service to the discipline and the community, as well as professional society activities; ETAC/ABET accreditation efforts; recruitment; student advising; and University committees. The department encourages faculty members to pursue professional development opportunities.

 The successful candidate must have been employed post-graduation for at least three years as a full-time, permanent hire construction or engineering professional with U.S. or Canadian experience in several of the following areas: construction safety, surveying, computerized graphics (CAD, BIM), construction management, building construction, cost estimating, or scheduling. In addition, building construction experience and/or prior successful teaching experience in engineering or construction practices is preferred. The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills, have performed effectively in collaborative team environments, and have experience working with diverse populations.

 Lecturer candidates are required to have a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Construction Engineering, or a closely related discipline by date of hire.  A degree from an ABET accredited program is preferred.  Tenure will not be granted at the Lecturer rank, but promotion to Assistant Professor may be considered with additional earned credentials.  Assistant Professor (tenure track) candidates are required to have a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Construction Engineering or a closely related discipline by date of hire.  Licensure as a professional engineer in a U.S. jurisdiction is required before being recommended for promotion from Assistant Professor.
