An Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Teaching is expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses and to provide university and public services related to the undergraduate program, including curriculum development, student advising, ABET accreditation, and recruitment outreach.
The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering is a well-established, rapidly growing college at UCR. Ranked in the top 50 best public research universities for engineering by U.S. News & World Report, BCOE has over 140 faculty members, more than 3,700 undergraduate students, 1,100 graduate students, and more than $44 million in total annual research expenditures. The college has five departments, 11 undergraduate degree programs, 10 graduate degree programs, and 11 research centers
Preferred qualifications include:
* A minimum of 3-5 years of experience and demonstrated record of high-quality and innovative teaching in a wide variety of undergraduate Mechanical Engineering courses in an ABET-accredited program.
* A demonstrated record of teaching capstone senior design courses and experimental laboratory courses, as well as successful engagement with external sponsors to generate support for senior design projects.
* A demonstrated record of developing curriculum that tightly integrates hands-on use of various manufacturing facilities (e.g. Machine Shop, Makerspace, Cleanroom, etc.) to provide substantive practical educational experiences for students.
* Experience in advising undergraduate student clubs (e.g., ASME, SAE, SHPE, NSBE, SWE, etc.), and their participation in prestigious national competitions (FSAE, EcoCAR EV, NASA Micro-g NeXt, etc.).
* Experience in advising undergraduate students in course selection and career development.
* Demonstrated commitment to promoting diversity and inclusiveness in teaching, research, and service, in particular to broadening participation for women and other underrepresented groups.
