2026-27 AY Lecturer Pool – Electrical & Electronic Engineering

DEPARTMENT:
Electrical & Electronic Engineering

POSITION TITLE:

Lecturer Pool – Electrical & Electronic Engineering

POSITION DETAILS:

We equip our graduates with a strong background in the fundamental principles of the discipline, and subsequent advanced courses in specific areas. Our curriculum provides practical, hands-on experience through laboratory courses. The Electrical and Electronic Engineering program provides breadth (core courses), depth (elective sequence), and a culminating design project to apply the knowledge gained through the curriculum. The curriculum allows flexibility by offering a number of elective courses providing our graduates with depth in their respective areas of interest.

The electives offered provide depth in one or more of the following areas:
Analog/Digital Electronics, Control Systems, Communication Engineering, and Power Engineering.

Duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

Part-time lecturers are instructional faculty with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure-track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with our existing faculty. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made.

Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester.

RANK AND SALARY

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department.

Most new lecturers are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank. As of July 2024, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are:

Lecturer A: $5,507 - $6,677

Lecturer B: $6,221 ‐ $13,224

Lecturer C: $6,825 ‐ $14,523

Lecturer D: $8,593 ‐ $15,211

The salary ranges indicated are based on a "full‐time rate" (15 weighted teaching units [WTUs]). A semester's worth of compensation is made up of six (6) payments of the given amount. To calculate your salary for a semester, the base rate would be pro‐rated based on the units worked out of 15 WTUs. If you were a Lecturer A assigned 3 units at the minimum salary, your pay would be structured as follows: $5,507 x 3/15 (3 units out of a possible 15 units total) = $1101.40 x 6 checks = $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.
