The College of Southern Maryland (CSM), a two-time Aspen Award-winning institution, is accepting applications for an Adjunct Faculty Applicant Pool in Engineering and Engineering Technology within the
Mathematics and Engineering Department.

Adjunct faculty are hired on an as-needed basis to teach courses during the day, evening, weekend, online, hybrid, laboratory, or clinical settings, depending on program needs.

Applicants remain in the applicant pool and are contacted when instructional needs arise. Placement in the applicant pool does not guarantee an immediate teaching assignment.

This is an applicant pool for part-time faculty in Engineering and Engineering Technology.

The primary instructional areas include:

The Engineering AS degree is designed for students planning to transfer to a Bachelor of Science program in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, or civil engineering (as well as other engineering disciplines). Students take a set of core courses and choose electives appropriate for their specific discipline.

The Engineering Technology AAS program prepares students who are currently employed in the engineering technology field as well as those without prior work experience to develop the skills and knowledge required of technicians in a variety of engineering settings.

Applicants should submit:

• Resume or Curriculum Vitae
• Unofficial transcripts (official transcripts required upon hire)
• Additional discipline-specific documents, if applicable

Applications remain active in the applicant pool until the posting is refreshed or closed. Adjunct Pools will typically be refreshed annually. Departments review applicant pools as instructional needs arise.
