Description of Work:
The College of Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) seeks to hire a non-tenure track Full Professor of Practice in the Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program, to begin May 2023. The MEM is a professional graduate degree for working professionals. This non-thesis, 30-credit-hour program prepares students for managing the business challenges in their engineering career. In partnership with the MBA program at UNL, the MEM curriculum strikes a balance between technical and engineering operational knowledge and business management skills to effectively lead in an engineering, science, and technology environment. The program is fully online with no residency requirements. Students have STEM degrees, at least two years of work experience in engineering or a related field and are substantially or fully supported by their employers for tuition reimbursement to finance their education. The position will be based on the City Campus in Lincoln or the Scott Campus in Omaha. The faculty member will be based in an academic unit relevant to their engineering background. Primary reporting will be to the Director of the MEM program, and secondary reporting will be to the academic unit chair.
The successful candidate will be expected to:
be significantly involved in the College's teaching mission.
teach a variety of MEM courses in an asynchronous online format at the graduate level on various subjects in the existing and emerging engineering management body of knowledge.
learn new and emerging technologies and research-based instructional strategies, and integrate them into asynchronous online courses in novel and innovative ways.
maintain and grow relevant scholarly activities and professional development in support of effective teaching in the MEM program.
Additionally, the successful candidate will be expected to participate in a variety of non-class activities that address the College's teaching mission such as advising, mentoring, and outreach. Responsibilities for the candidates based in Lincoln or Omaha would include 90% teaching and 10% service, to include networking with industry, involvement with faculty in other departments who may teach courses in the MEM program and fostering interdisciplinary ties with appropriate departments and programs within the university. If teaching remotely, responsibility is 100% teaching.
