Part Time Faculty (Aviation and Pilot Technology)
About The Position
Part-time faculty member teaching a four-credit, in-person course in aerodynamics related to practical flight applications. The course uses algebra and trigonometry and covers linear and curved motion, kinematics, force, statics, dynamics, work and energy, impulse and momentum, rotary motion, and fluids. Vector analysis is used to develop conceptual models explaining cause and effect. Students conduct investigations, collect data, and interpret results using graphical analysis; mathematical models are applied to observed events to reinforce conceptual understanding. The course meets twice weekly, with an additional lab period. Scheduled class times are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:45 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., with lab on Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. The position is budgeted for four scheduled hours per week.
