Program: Mechanical Engineering Technology
Position Type: Part-time, adjunct
Semester: Fall 2026
Compensation: $850 - $1000 per credit, based on adjunct faculty rank (determined by education and experience)
Position Overview:
NHTI is seeking qualified adjunct faculty to teach courses within our Mechanical Engineering Technology A.S. program, including courses on 1) Measurement and Control and 2) Dynamics and Mechanical Design I. This program educates students in the mechanical engineering field and includes courses in the areas of design, manufacturing, and controls. Math and physical sciences are emphasized to give students the basic knowledge to work with changing technology. Course work incorporates theory and practice with extensive computer applications, including computer-aided drawing/modeling and design.
Course Details:
A study of the effect of forces acting on rigid and deformable bodies subject to static and dynamic loading and the utilization of this knowledge for the design of mechanical components. Major topics include strength and fatigue, kinematic analysis, power transmission, design methodology, and computer applications.
Begins with the study of basic electronics (analog and digital) and electronic components (transistors, op-amps, SCRs). Electromechanical principles are introduced, leading to consideration of sensors and transducers used in production processes. Paralleling this sequence is the development of programming in Visual Basic. These two paths join during the second half of the course where programming logic controllers (PLCs) and relay ladder logic (RLL) are presented. In the lab, students gain hands-on experience with all hardware and software covered in the course.
Key Responsibilities for Courses:
Minimum Qualifications:
Individuals with a Bachelors degree in the subject/content area or closely related field to the teaching assignment, or a Bachelors degree in Education and an Associates degree in the subject/content area closely related to the teaching assignment combined with three (3) years of related teaching or professional work experience shall be considered as meeting the subject/content area requirements.
Masters degree in the subject/content area, or a Masters degree in Education with twelve (12) graduate credits in the subject/content area or closely related to the teaching assignment and a Bachelors degree in the subject/content area closely related to the teaching assignment combined with a minimum of two (2) years of related teaching and/or professional work experience is preferred. Individuals must possess required licenses or certifications as required within the field.
Application Process:
Submit a completed employment application with a cover letter, CV/resume, and copies of official or unofficial transcripts. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. Employment history sections stating see resume will not be accepted.
