Adjunct Lecturer-C++ and Python

Part-Time Adjunct Instructor in Engineering Technology

The Department of Engineering Technology is seeking applications for a part-time adjunct instructor position in Engineering Technology. The candidate will be responsible for teaching courses in building energy management and automated building control systems. We are seeking a qualified and enthusiastic Lecturer to teach CT148: C++ and Python Programming (4 Credits). The successful candidate will deliver high-quality instruction in modern programming languages with an emphasis on embedded systems development using Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms.

The role involves combining theoretical instruction with practical laboratory sessions to prepare students for real-world embedded systems applications. The position requires on-site and hybrid modes of delivery of coursework. The course will pay $1,178 per credit.

CT148 introduces students to two contemporary programming languages, C++ and Python, focusing on their use in embedded systems. Students learn the syntax, programming concepts, and practical applications of both languages before applying them to develop embedded solutions using Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The course explores Python for high-level control, data processing, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, while C++ is used for low-level hardware interaction and real-time processing.

Through hands-on projects, students integrate sensors, actuators, and communication protocols to gain practical experience in embedded systems development.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver lectures, tutorials, and laboratory sessions for CT148.
• Teach programming fundamentals and advanced concepts in C++ and Python.
• Guide students in developing embedded systems applications using Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
• Supervise practical projects involving sensors, actuators, and communication protocols.
• Develop course materials, laboratory exercises, assignments, and assessments.
• Evaluate student performance and provide constructive feedback.
• Maintain a safe, engaging, and collaborative learning environment.
• Stay current with developments in embedded systems, IoT technologies, and programming practices.

Requirements

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field (Master's degree preferred).
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python programming.
• Experience with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and embedded systems development.
• Knowledge of IoT concepts, sensor integration, and communication protocols.
• Previous teaching or training experience is an advantage.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
