Create new graduate aerospace elective courses according to
their area of expertise. These can be in any area, but space
systems, rockets, and aircraft design are of particular
interest.
Demonstrate experience developing and teaching these subject
areas as university courses.
Demonstrate excellence in teaching rigorous engineering courses
at the advanced undergraduate and graduate technical elective
level.
Contribute to the departmental teaching needs until the MSAE
grows sufficiently large to merit a full aerospace course load. The
department has a full undergraduate mechanical engineering
curriculum and has related Masters degree programs in systems
engineering and engineering management as well as the MSAE
program.
The MSAE program is an on-campus degree program, however, we
anticipate substantial off-campus (remote) enrollment in select
classes from students currently professionally employed in Utah.
The department currently supports remote enrollment through a
mixture of specifically on-line courses and on-campus courses
recorded and broadcast. The ideal candidate will have experience in
both traditional and remote formats and be interested in teaching
in a hybrid environment. The Department draws extensive industry
enrollment in MS programs. The student body in these programs is
heavily professional and so the ability to interact with local
industry will be valuable. An ability to develop synergistic
courses and relationships between the MSAE and our other programs
would be valuable.
The State of Utah has a strong aerospace and defense industry with
impact on GDP well above the national average. The career-line
faculty member will be expected to be active in department,
university, and professional service activities. Aerospace
engineering and its related fields are active areas of research in
the department. The position does not carry a research expectation,
but all faculty are encouraged to collaboratively contribute to the
department's research goals.
Successful candidates should have a Ph.D. in a related
field, preferably with aerospace structures experience.
Candidates with a track record of high-quality teaching are
especially encouraged to apply. Industry experience is
welcome.
