About The Position

The Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering at Colorado State University invites dynamic and innovative educators to apply for full-time, career line faculty positions within our new common first-year engineering program. These positions are designed to empower students from all engineering disciplines as they embark on their academic journey. Faculty hired through this search will have an affiliated appointment in one of our traditional engineering departments (Mechanical, Electrical and Computer, Biomedical and Chemical, or Civil and Environmental Engineering), but will primarily teach foundational courses in the first-year curriculum, including courses in engineering fundamentals and engineering for grand challenges. Instructors in the common experience program will play a critical role in shaping the academic experience for first-year students, fostering a sense of community, and ensuring their early success in engineering. The ideal candidates will bring enthusiasm for undergraduate teaching and a passion for innovation in engineering education. While the primary responsibility will be teaching in the common first-year program, there will be opportunities to teach other courses in their area of expertise within the affiliated department. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a newly launched, forward-thinking program that prepares students to tackle real-world challenges. Our faculty will not only teach but will actively engage in curriculum development, mentorship, and fostering a supportive learning environment for all students. Join us in creating an innovative and student-centered approach to engineering education that ensures the success of the next generation of engineers.
