Job Summary
With moderate institutional and departmental knowledge, this position works within the Robotics and SIME programs to coordinate a diverse population of students regarding their academic planning and progress.
The Robotics Program is an interdisciplinary collaboration between constituent departments (Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the Kahlert School of Computing) within the Price College of Engineering, and is currently administrated by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. At the undergraduate level, students may earn a Minor or Certificate in Robotics. At the graduate level, students may earn a Certificate, M.S. (Project), M.S. (Thesis), or Ph.D. in Robotics.
Students may also do a concurrent B.S./M.S. with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. in Robotics.
The SIME Program (Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Engineering Management) is hosted by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In Systems engineering, students may earn a M.S. degree (MSSE), a graduate certificate (GCSE), or an undergraduate certificate (UCSE). In Engineering Management, students may earn a Masters degree (MEM) or a graduate certificate (GCEM). Students may also do a concurrent B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with the MSSE or MEM degrees.
The primary responsibility of this position will be to support students pursuing graduate degrees in Robotics and SIME, but this position should also involve coordinating with existing undergraduate and graduate advisors in Mechanical Engineering and other affiliated departments.
This position will assist the University in promoting a climate of respect that cultivates and sustains transformative practices by forging spaces of possibility where students feel safe, valued, welcomed, and respected in their quest for individual success through the aforementioned programs of study.
