Faculty are essential to Liberty University’s mission of Training Champions for Christ. It is expected that a faculty member model a personal commitment to the goals and values of Liberty University, engage in an active commitment to, and experience of, personal spiritual formation within a biblically informed Christian worldview. Faculty should view their teaching, engagement with students, and scholarship as a means to a significant educational end. They should strive to employ a variety of techniques for the development of good learning conditions, view each student as a unique individual, and insofar as it is possible, provide for individual differences, abilities, and interests. The School of Engineering is seeking an instructor in mechanical engineering to teach courses in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology Program. An ideal candidate must have earned a master’s degree from an accredited institution in mechanical engineering or a related field with expertise in the following areas: Engineering Mechanics, Measurement Tools and Instrumentation, Computer-Aided Engineering, Engineering Materials, and Thermal-Fluid Systems. The Instructor’s primary role is to teach in their areas of expertise, maintain the integrity of course and instructional programs, and ensure that their delivery is in alignment with the University's mission and vision for the student experience. As such, faculty are responsible for creating an academic atmosphere of mutual respect and consideration for individual dignity. Faculty members may be asked to aid in the development of curriculum in the residential and distance education environments, as well as engage in research/scholarship or creative activity that varies depending upon the expectations of their respective college or school and any additional activities involving service to students and their professional discipline. Faculty attain the rank of Instructor based upon scholarly and professional achievements. An earned master’s degree at an accredited institution in an area relevant to the faculty member’s area of teaching; at least 18 hours of graduate credit in the specific teaching field is required. This is the initial rank for faculty in, but not having completed, doctoral programs, and those with master’s degrees considered terminal and without teaching experience. Instructors are contracted for 10 months (30 load hours, respectively). Release from contracted teaching load is determined each semester by the Dean, per Liberty University Faculty Handbook.
