| About Quinnipiac: |
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, Computing & Engineering, Education, Health Sciences, Law, Medicine, Nursing and the College of Arts & Sciences. Our 20 Division I teams have achieved remarkable success, boasting national and conference titles — including a 2023 NCAA national championship win in men’s ice hockey, a trip to the Sweet 16 for our women's basketball team and NCAA Tournament appearances by many of our programs. 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 recently opened South Quad with three state-of-the-art buildings.
As Quinnipiac grows, the university remains guided by the core values that define our community and shapes the experience of every student and employee.
- We are fiercely committed to ensuring every Bobcat thrives. We are a lifelong partner for every learner.
- We passionately care about our community. Everyone should feel welcome and valued.

| Responsibilities: |
|
You will be responsible for all duties normally associated with teaching as a university faculty member, including but not limited to:
- Implementing common course syllabus, or developing and/or updating course syllabus, as applicable. Posting the syllabus to Canvas.
- Preparation of lectures, project, or other student assignments.
- Presenting instruction based on the competencies and performance levels of the course.
- Meeting all scheduled classes at the times published in the course schedule.
- Notifying your department chair or program director in advance and arranging for coverage, in the unusual event that you cannot be present at a scheduled class.
- Checking Quinnipiac email frequently to stay current with all communications. (This includes checking email for the five business days after the final grade submission deadline in the event a student appeals their final grade in your course(s) as permitted by the Procedure to Appeal a Final Grade in the Catalog.)
- Completing mandatory training within the time frame identified as defined by Human Resources. Examples include: Harassment & Discrimination, Data Security & Privacy and Managing Bias.
The current spring semester openings are in day and early evening on-ground sections (some flexibility regarding offering time is possible) for the following courses:
- MER 340 – Manufacturing/Machine Design (3 credit) – This course introduces machine component design and manufacturing, relating fundamental engineering science to machine components. It covers load, stress and strain analyses, and fatigue. The course progresses to the study of machine component design, including mechanical components such as linkages, fasteners, springs, bearings, gears and shafts.
- MER 320 – Thermodynamics (3 credits) – This course focuses on thermodynamics. It applies conservation principles for mass, energy and linear momentum as well as the second law of thermodynamics. Principles are applied to power generation systems, refrigeration cycles and total air conditioning. Thermodynamic principles also are applied to the automotive system to examine engine performance (Otto and Diesel cycles) and to high performance aircraft to examine the Brayton cycle.
- MER 330L – Introduction to Circuits Lab (1 credit) - Students learn and practice hands-on techniques relevant to circuit analysis, such as bread board prototyping, voltage and current measurements, soldering, and basic data acquisition. All experimental results obtained in the lab are analyzed in the context of the theoretical framework presented in the course.
Additional openings for the spring semester and beyond include foundation mechanical engineering course that include (but are not limited to) the following course offerings:
- MER 210 (Engineering Mechanics/Statics)
- MER 220 and MER 220L (Mechanics of Materials)
- MER 310 (Fluid Mechanics)
