The Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science (SES) at Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens) invites applications for an Adjunct position for the Spring semester of 2025.

The Adjunct Instructor will teach ENGR 122, Field Sustainable Systems with Sensors. Each section of this EVENING course meets once a week for the full Spring 2025 semester for a total of ~3 hours per week. This course is an introductory course for Engineering majors and builds to the Gallois Autonomous Robot Competition hosted during the Stevens Innovation Expo.

As one of the first courses in the Stevens Design Spine, ENGR 122 is fundamental to SES’s commitment to instilling a sense of engineering mastery, interdisciplinarity, project management, teamwork, and specific engineering skills required of the modern engineer in its engineering graduates. It also underscores their ability to communicate the technical aspects of a project properly and clearly. The Design Spine is a series of courses that continue through an Engineering student’s senior year.

This is a project-based class with heavy emphasis on various engineering disciplines, such as CAD, coding, basic circuitry, and technical writing. An excellent candidate is passionate about engineering education and interested in sharing that passion with others. A stellar applicant has received a degree in and has work experience in engineering.

The successful applicant will be expected to work on-campus with students and Teaching Assistants (TAs), with certain tasks such as grading student work and providing feedback on student projects extending throughout the week.

This is a fixed-term assignment for the Spring 2025 semester at Stevens (starting on January 16, 2025, and ending on May 15, 2025). Engagement in subsequent academic terms will be considered on a case-by-case, as-needed basis.
