The University of Prince Edward Island Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering has openings for Sessional Instructors for the forthcoming 2019 Fall Semester for the following courses:

ENGN 2210 Engineering Projects I

Combined with Engineering 2220, this course provides a complete community/industry design project experience. Emphasis is placed on strong technical design knowledge and team dynamics to facilitate learning and critical thinking. Students are encouraged to develop and apply CAD, economics, sustainability, social justice, and ethics concepts in their own community/industry design projects. Students are required to research and analyze the client's situation (internal/external) and develop detailed analytical proposals and conceptual design options. Innovative project management tools and communication skills (team/client) are also introduced to achieve project deliverables in an effective manner.

Three lecture hours and three design studio (lab) hours per week; team-taught with a faculty member

ENGN 2310 Strength of Materials

This course is an introduction to the study of stress, strain and deformation of a solid body subjected to static forces. Topics include elastic and plastic stress, strain, Mohr's circle, torsion, behaviour of beams and columns. Computer applications and hands-on laboratory experiments are used.

Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week

SDE 8020 Quality Control/Project Management

This course is an introduction to the most widely accepted project management practices in the workforce today. The student will learn the industrially accepted techniques associated with the management of time, cost, risk, and scope in order to achieve total project stakeholder satisfaction. The goal in this course is to prepare students with the most efficient and effective project management practices by applying these techniques to their graduate research work, and in so doing greatly increase their likelihood of managing successful projects during their careers. 

Three lecture hours per week

Qualifications:

Successful candidates 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. For ENGN 2210, candidates must be registered as a Professional Engineer on Prince Edward Island. For ENGN 2310 and SDE 8020, candidates should be registered, or be eligible to be registered, as a Professional Engineer on Prince Edward Island. In all cases, professional engineering experience is expected and will be an important consideration in the selection process.

Preference will be given to qualified candidates with seniority on the UPEI Sessional Roster of the academic unit.

Application Instructions:
