Part-Time Faculty: Industrial Engineering and General Engineering

Overview

The School of Computing and Engineering at Quinnipiac University seeks highly qualified applicants who are committed to excellence in teaching for part‑time faculty openings in Industrial Engineering for the Spring 2026 semester and beyond. The school is experiencing steady enrollment growth, and both needs candidates immediately and desires to develop and maintain a pool of candidates should additional part‑time openings arise.

The School of Computing and Engineering became the ninth school at Quinnipiac University on July 1, 2016 (then the School of Engineering). The school offers degrees in civil, industrial, mechanical and software engineering, and computer science. Housed in the newly renovated Communications, Computing and Engineering building, the school features newly constructed and outfitted laboratories, and classrooms. Dedicated to providing a first‑rate engineering learning experience for our students, the school focuses on high‑quality instruction, and offers hands‑on training, applied learning opportunities and meaningful student‑faculty relationships.

Quinnipiac University is a private, coeducational institution located 90 minutes north of New York City and two hours from Boston. The university currently has an enrollment of 9,700 students in more than 100‑degree programs through its Schools of Business, Communications, Education, Computing & Engineering, Health Sciences, Law, Medicine, Nursing and the College of Arts & Sciences. Our 21 Division I teams have achieved remarkable success, boasting multiple conference titles.

This includes a 2023 NCAA National Championship win in ice hockey, a three‑time defending national champion women’s rugby team, and a trip to the Sweet 16 for our women’s basketball team. The Quinnipiac University Poll is nationally recognized as a leader in public opinion research, and the university is consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report and Princeton Review.

The Wall Street Journal ranked Quinnipiac #51 among the best colleges in the nation, and second in Connecticut, for our exceptional graduation rate, salary impact, learning facilities, career preparation and learning opportunities. The university is in the midst of program expansion and renewal for both traditional and adult learners, the development of innovative strategic partnerships, and just opened a South Quad with three new buildings.

The Spring 2026 semester openings are in day and early evening on‑ground sections (some flexibility regarding offering time is possible) for the following courses:

• ENR 210 – Engineering Economics and Project Management – This course focuses on the introduction to the concepts of economics/finance/costing and explains how these affect the functioning of engineering projects and contribute to decision making in engineering operations. A portion of the course covers the concepts of project management, team building and leading teams that are used throughout the program and in professional practice.
• IER 250 – Data Analytics – This course presents basic techniques of decision‑making concentrating on both theoretical and modeling aspects. This course integrates the art and science of decision making for single and multiple objective environments to support the decision‑making phase of the Systems Decision Process (SDP). The focus of the course is modeling problem structure, uncertainty, risk and preference in the context of decision making.

Additional openings for the Fall 2026 semester and beyond include multiple topics in Industrial Engineering including Human Factors/Ergonomics, Statistical Quality Control, and others.

• A minimum of a Master’s degree in Engineering or a related field is preferred, although consideration will be given to excellent candidates who possess practical experience or professional licensure.

• Teaching experience at the university level is preferred.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with individuals from varied backgrounds.
