McMaster-Mohawk Bachelor Of Technology Partnership

Assistant/Associate Professor Positions (5)

The Bachelor of Technology four year degree program is a fresh approach to university level education for the dynamic world of engineering. Based out of McMaster University, this joint program with Mohawk College has a unique focus on skills-based learning and the application of engineering and business theory in three degree specializations: Automotive and Vehicle Technology, Biotechnology, and Process Automation Technology. B.Tech. was developed in consultation with industry to produce graduates who are work-place ready, able to move from the shop floor to the executive suite, or onwards to studies in Master’s and Doctoral programs in engineering and business.

B.Tech. has emerged as a leader in engineering technology education for those who are analytical, innovative, and learn best by doing. Now the fastest growing program at McMaster, B.Tech. is home to 700 undergraduate students, 20 faculty, and 8 staff. With lecture sizes of approximately 70 students and lab components to complement almost every technical course, B.Tech. is not your typical university engineering program. Our students know the theory, have practical skills, and gain 12 months of co-op work experience in the industry before they graduate with both a McMaster University degree and Mohawk College advanced diploma.

The B.Tech. program is seeking to hire faculty at either the Assistant or Associate Professor rank in the following areas. The appointments will be contractually limited for a period of up to 3 years in length commencing July 1, 2013. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Candidates must have at least a Master’s degree, but preferably a Doctorate, in the areas specified. Candidates must possess excellent communication skills and a strong commitment and demonstrated ability in classroom instruction. Experience teaching engineering and/or technology courses at the university level is essential. In addition, industry experience would be considered a definite asset.
